Projekte

1. IOCG (Iron Oxide Copper Gold)
Rocher Deboule has started a two pronged exploration approach on its multi mineral 8051.07 hectare (19,896.7 acre) gold/silver/copper/cobalt/tungsten property located 9 km south of New Hazelton, BC.

The property will be explored to develop reserves on the high grade (east-west) veins containing copper/gold. The veins lie within an area measuring approximately 1.5 x 2 km, with seven mineralized veins running in an east west direction.

The IOCG potential was tested by the Geological Survey Branch of the Ministry of Energy and Mines where stream sediment sample #93M831897 returned a > 95 percentile for Au, La, Fe and Cu. Also high readings for Co, U and REE were obtained.

This is a reading in the first order for Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) anomalies and targets. Airborne magnetic survey (1967 – 1969) identified a large magnetic high anomaly, located in the central part of the claims which is a good indicator for a large magnetite body with the potential to host a IOCG. The Rocher Deboule had been held as crown granted mineral claims until 1999 when they reverted to the crown and were acquired by staking

ROCHER DEBOULE PURCHASES ARTILLERY PEAK, ARIZONA, MANGANESE …


Auszug:
The Information Circular describes the Artillery Peak area, measuring 8 miles by 3 miles as being generally recognized as containing one of the “largest resources of low grade manganese-bearing material in the United States”.

Auf den Gebieten wurde bereits in der Vergangenheit Mangan abgebaut:

The Manganese Properties contain several abandoned open pit mines, underground mine workings and stockpiles


ARTILLERY PEAK PROPERTIES, MOHAVE COUNTY, ARIZONA
Rocher Deboule has secured rights to acquire the Artillery Peak manganese properties for one million free-trading shares and US$96,000 cash, subject to a 2% NSR royalty with a right to buy back 1% for US$2 million. The properties encompass historical open-pit and underground mines that produced manganese from 1928 to 1952 for delivery to various steel mills and U.S. government strategic materials stockpiles. The Company plans to begin an extensive drilling program in the fall of 2007 in order to identify higher-grade resources within a large, low-grade historic resource that pre-dates NI 43-101 disclosure standards. A NI 43-101 technical report is being prepared for the properties.

Manganese prices have increased 302% from US$1,225 per ton to US$4,050 per ton since year-end 2006. Manganese is used in the production of iron and steel and has no known effective substitute in steel-making.

Informationen zum Metall

Wikipedia:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangan
Verwendung
Mangan ist wegen seiner hohen Affinität zu Schwefel und Sauerstoff sowie seiner werkstoffverbessernden Eigenschaften von hoher Bedeutung für die Metallindustrie. Ca. 90% bis 95% des erzeugten Mangans beziehungsweise Ferromangans gehen in die Eisen-, Stahl- und Sonderwerkstoffherstellung:

Desoxidation und Entschwefelung von Eisen und Stahl
preisgünstiger Nickelersatz in korrosionsbeständigen Edelstählen
stark festigkeitssteigerndes Legierungselement in Stählen
Kupfer-Mangan-(Nickel-)Legierungen beispielsweise Manganin für temperaturunabhängige Widerstände
Aluminium-Mangan-Legierungen
Ausdehnungslegierungen mit extrem hohen Ausdehnungskoeffizienten, zum Beispiel aktive Schalter aus Bimetall
Mangandioxid dient als Oxidationsmittel in Trockenbatterien.

Der Bedarf an Mangan wird in den nächsten Jahren nicht sinken, da keine ökonomisch sinnvollen Ersatztechnologien bekannt sind.


The International Manganese Institute (IMnI)
http://www.manganese.org/

Manganese is the twelfth most abundant element in the earth’s crust. Nevertheless it is only rarely found in concentrations high enough to form a manganese ore deposit. Among some 300 minerals containing manganese, only a dozen are of mining significance. Current estimates of world manganese reserves including low grade ore, reach several billion tons. But if only high grade ores (defined as having more than 44% Mn content) are considered then reserves are in the range of 680 million tons of ore, essentially situated in the Western World, with Australia, Brazil, Gabon and South Africa, supplying over 90% of the international market. Ghana and India, both large suppliers of the Western World in the past, are now exporting only limited quantities of low or medium grade ore. The ore mined in Mexico is mostly for internal usage, but part is exported in the form of manganese nodules.


The CIS, which as the USSR was the largest supplier of manganese ore at the beginning of the century, is now left with low grade ore reserves which have to be upgraded for commercial use. Only a limited amount of these reserves is exported, in quantities that are likely to decrease. Manganese ore deposits are widely distributed in China, but there is no high grade ore, nor important reserves, and mines are generally situated far from the end-user industries: in consequence China imports high grade ores to blend with native material.

There are also large manganese reserves on deep ocean floors in the form of polymetallic nodules. Quantitative estimates vary considerably, depending on the assessment method used. Nodules contain on average 25% Mn (their main constituent) and lie in thin layers at a depth of approximately 5.000 metres. Recovery will be difficult and very expensive. During the 1970’s and the early 80’s, these nodules were of great interest because of their nickel and copper content (each constituting approximately 1%). These nodules are now seen as potentially valuable resources for the long-term future.

The Stealth Bull Market in Manganese

Concerns over High Nickel Prices Send Manganese Prices Skyward


Manganese prices soared this spring after many stainless steel manufacturers began substituting this metal for nickel. Source: Metal-Pages.com

Although manganese is the fourth most heavily consumed metal – behind iron, aluminum and copper, most investors have failed to observe the dramatic bull market in manganese which began unfolding this past spring.

About 34 million tons of manganese ore were mined in 2006.

Manganese (Mn) is a key component in steel and iron production, which accounts for up to 90 percent of the metal's current consumption. However, the grey-white metal also plays an important role in low-cost stainless steel formulations and aluminum alloys. For example, manganese steels contain up to 14 percent Mn.

In 2006, the global unit consumption of manganese ferroalloys was approximately 10 kilograms alloy per metric ton of steel produced.

In specialty alloys, where nickel is replaced in part or entirely by manganese, the Mn content can run as high as 16 percent. Hadfield Steel contains 13 percent or more manganese. This brand of steel requires toughness and wear-resistance for applications in gyratory crushers, jaw crusher plates, rail steel and cutting edges for earth-moving equipment.

Earlier this year, Allegheny Ludlum explained high prices had forced the specialty steelmaker to replace nickel with manganese in some of its products. This spring, Finnish stainless steel manufacturer Outokumpu launched a duplex stainless product, LDX 2101, as a nickel-free stainless. The product utilizes a greater percentage of manganese instead of nickel.

Where applications permit, the stainless steel market is hoping to move away from austenitics to duplex, ferritic and other grades in order to rely less upon nickel. One report suggested chrome-manganese production could jump by 50 percent within two years. Consequently, the nickel-chrome grades could lose 20 percent of their stainless steel market share.

Aber warum jetzt erst?

Weil jetzt erst (d.h. ab Juni) Mangan hinzugekommen ist.
Und ich deshalb auf der Suche nach einem Mangan-Play jetzt auf den Wert gestoßen bin.

Ist doch schon gut gelaufen.

Die MK ist noch niedrig, die Projekte vielversprechend.
Die Story steht doch erst am Anfang.

Hallo !
Da ich auch in Adanac investiert bin hatte ich auch mal post bekommen über Rocher...

Interessante Firma, aber leider nicht in Deutschland handelbar, damit kam für mich kein Einstieg in Frage !

Allen viel Glück

[sparplan_b]

Hier ist eine interessante Zusamenfassung von Mike Hoy.
Bin im Bullboard-Forum drüber "gestolpert" und stelle es mit freundlicher Genehmigung des Autors mal hier ein (zum Autor selbst eine kleine Anmerkung: er bezeichnet sich selbst als Paid consultant -siehe Text ganz unten- trotzdem eine ganz gute Zusammenfasssung).

Man beachte die die Grade der (sehr kleinen) Minenproduktion...

ROCHER DEBOULE RD.H CAN. AND RDBHF AM. CURRENT MARKET PRICE $.63 CAN.


This is a company which personifies the genius of Larry Reaugh. There are two main properties in this company that each, as you will read, has the potential to be a “company maker.”

THE ROCHER DEBOULE MINE:

The first property is the Rocher Deboule property in BC. This property has, in the past, had 4-5 very small operations that can be classified as prior producing mines. The largest of these mines was the Rocher Deboule which is where the company’s name originates. This mine produced 52,000 tons of ore. From this ore was mined

4492oz/gold grading .085-oz/ton
84,000 oz/silver 1.5 oz/ton
6,203,000 lb copper 117 lb/ton almost 6%
7219 zinc .137 lb/ton

THE VICTORIA MINE:

A second mine, called the Victoria Mine, produced only 90 tons of ore but the numbers are nothing short of outstanding.

326 oz gold grading 3.62 oz/ton
2100 lb moly 23.33 lb/ton 1%
4918 lb cobalt 54.5 lb/ton almost 3%

At current market prices the Rocher Deboule Mine had a yield of roughly $485/ton.
At current market prices the Victoria Mine had a yield of roughly $4875/ton.

The important point to take notice of here is not the fact that the yield was $485/ton and $4875/ton respectively but what the ore consisted of.

6% copper/ton
3.62 oz/gold/ton
1% moly/ton
3% cobalt/ton

These are very significant grades of each of these metals and minerals. These high grades could signify a very large body of ore.

It is very important to understand that this is a grass roots property and should be viewed as such when assessing the risk associated with pure exploration. Drilling should commence on the Rocher Deboule property between now and the sometime during the fall. I think it could be very interesting as I will be anxiously awaiting drill results.


ARTILLERY PEAK MANGANESE MINE IN ARIZONA:


The second property is a prior producing manganese mine in Arizona which was in production in the 1950’s.

The acquisition of this property is a classic Larry Reaugh accomplishment. With the Artillery Peak, Larry is taking a big step forward in the field of manganese.

Through Larry’s work with the major mining companies showing an interest in the permanent financing of Adanac; Larry realized that there was a manganese shortage. Larry has the 18 month advantage over any major competitive moly project because he recognized the future of moly way before all the other “Johnny come latelies!”

Larry has now branched out into manganese just like moly way ahead of everyone else. The time will come when the supply constraints of manganese are recognized in the same manner as moly. At that point in time Larry will again be recognized as an industry leader. Larry can easily be classified as the “man” with the foresight to have recognized the future of molybdenum back in the decade of the 90’s. This same foresight with manganese has now positioned the shareholders of Rocher Deboule to take full advantage of the future of manganese just like Adanac captured the leading edge in the molybdenum market.

Lots of people are doing a lot of research on manganese right now and one of the things they are finding is the fact that there is no manganese production in the US. At least they have not found any yet.

Manganese was classified in the past as a strategic metal in the US. Manganese goes into every piece of stainless steel that is made. In my opinion the fact that no one can come up with any manganese production in the US is telling me that this property could have vital significance to the US in the event of any supply shortfalls in the future.

Artillery Peak has not been systematically drilled out so it is very difficult to assess at this point in time just what lies in the ground. Manganese is exposed at surface all over the place. The website has many pictures of the exposed manganese and areas where the ground is cut away showing layers of manganese at depth. A 43-101 has been performed and it is estimated that there could be 100,000,000 tons of 10% manganese. Remember there has been very little drilling so view all this with speculation and let the future drilling results speak for themselves. I have other articles about manganese and links to the 43-101 for anyone who would like to read more. My e-mail address is at the bottom of the article.

The current market price of manganese has been very volatile. In the past two months it has ranged from $3,000/ton - $6,000/ton. The current market price is roughly $3,500/ton. I am not an expert on manganese so I will keep any numbers to a minimum at this time. It is important to know that if the drilling proves up a resource that this should be an open pit operation just like the operation in the 1950’s.

I think you can see the point I am trying to make on both these properties.

Drilling will commence on both these properties as rigs become available in BC and the temperature cools off a little in Arizona.

I believe that RD.H offers potential that very few juniors can even dream about.

In the past Larry has referred to the BC property as a bonafide shot at a home run. Now add in the acquisition of Artillery Peak and the fact that we know there is a body of ore there that is commercial at current market prices and you have a recipe for what dreams are made of.

In closing on Rocher Deboule I would like to say again that there is roughly 32,000,000 shares outstanding including 8,500,000-9,000,000 shares in warrants remaining to be exercised @$.15 in September. The float on RD.H is very small. It is difficult to acquire a position of size without moving the market. I do believe a block of shares can be put together from the exercise of these warrants. I believe this block can be put together between $.60-$.70 Can. Anyone with an interest can call me directly on this.

There will be a Private Placement down the road at higher prices. There is big time interest in this PP and I am afraid that the retail sector may not be allowed to participate. The “big boys” are already stepping up to the plate. I think the PP will probably come @ $1.00 or higher. Those of you, who would like to participate, if the possibility were to become available, should definitely give me a call so that I know what I have to work with assuming I get a chance.

I wish I could tell each of you exactly how to buy this stock right now in the market. Unfortunately I can’t. I believe that an investor needs to begin to establish a position so as not to miss out if the “fireworks” do begin to go off. Once these warrants are out of the way I do not see anything holding RD.H back.

With the recent excitement surrounding RD.H and the acquisition of Artillery Peak in Arizona taking a little attention and money away from GOR and AUA it would be a big time mistake to overlook the opportunity as well as the timing associated with both Goldrea Resources and Adanac Molybdenum.


I plan on doing a lot more writing as I have much to say about a whole lot of what is going on in both the world and the companies I am involved with.

Any of you with any questions can call me anytime between 8:00AM-8:00PM Central Time.

These are very exciting times we have standing directly in front of us. I personally believe the world is about to wake up and recognize the value of what Larry Reaugh has been building.

Excuse my enthusiasm but when I recognize that these last two years have enabled me to build big positions in the companies I own I can’t help but sit back and recognize that the time associated with cashing in big time profits on building successful companies is directly in front of us.

It is no accident that I have built the positions and have the percentage returns I have.

As always these are my opinions and it is up to each of you to do your own due diligence so that you have what you need to make your own investment decisions. I am a paid consultant working with the Reaugh Group of Companies. Anyone who would like to be removed from my e-mail list can request to be taken off at the e-mail link below.

The property is subject to a 1% NSR which may be purchased for $300,000 in the next ten years.

Tam Claims:

The mineralized area extends over an area of 12 kilometers in length and up to 4 kilometers in width. Mineralization consists of irregular lenses scattered along the contact between the limestone and argillite. The fluorite area contains a historical resource of 2.6 million tonnes grading 30% CaF2 (of which Rocher Deboule has optioned the northern section) as reported on page 291 of the 1986 Report on Canadian Mineral Deposits, Energy, Mines and Resources Canada. The main showing on the Tam deposit is reported to have indicted potential of more than 450,000 tonnes averaging 36.7% CaF2 as reported in Minefile No. 094M 005.

Where historical estimates are referred to, the Company has no classification of the resource or reserve, and the Company has not obtained enough of the original data and has not done the work necessary to verify the classification of a resource or reserve. The Company is not treating the estimates as a NI 43-101 defined resource or reserve verified by a qualified person, and the historical estimates should not be relied upon.

The following drill hole results on the Tam showing as reported in the 1972 publication of Geology, Exploration and Mining in British Columbia.

Significant drill holes assays from page 595 are:



---------------------------------------
Hole #1 0-89' 48% CaF2
---------------------------------------
90-153.6' 16% CaF2

Rocher Deboule Acquires Niobium Property

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Sep 10, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) --

Larry W. Reaugh, President and CEO of Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp.(\"RD\") (NEX: RD.H)(PINK SHEETS: RDBHF) is pleased to announce the acquisition of a 692 hectares (1,710 acres) niobium property located in the north-central British Columbia, about 6.0 km north east of the community of Manson Creek. The area is accessible via the Omineca Mining Road from either Fort St. James to the south or from a turnoff at Windy Point on the Yellowhead highway to the east.

The property is underlain by the Wolverine Complex of Precambrian to Lower Cambrian Age. The unit consists of metasediments, quartzites, schists and crystalline limestone. This grades northeastward into an area of gneisses and pegmatites. Two major faults, the Manson Creek and the Wolverine, strike northwesterly adjacent to and west of the property.

The claims entail the old Brent (Vergil) claim and Wolverine claims #\'s 3, 4, 6 and 9. As reported in the 1982 Geological Branch Assessment Report #10,729 written by B. Taylor, P.Eng., the Brent (Vergil) claim trenching programs by Texaco Canada Ltd. in 1973 returned a strike length of 119 meters (390 feet) containing an average of .19% Nb205 and .18% zr (zirconion) higher grades within the trench were up to .57% Nb205. The zone is open on both ends and is up to 40 meters in width in the vicinity of the heliport. The Brent and the (i)Lonnie ((i)not part of RD Claims) niobium showings both contain significant niobium hosted in the carbonatite and are situated approximately four kilometers apart in a north east direction with RD\'s ground covering 3.5 km of the strike length.

About Niobium:

The average price of niobium is currently $26.50 US/lb up from $8.75 US/lb at the beginning of the year.

Niobium, a soft shiny, white metal, is also known as columbium since it was originally discovered in a mineral named columbite. Like tantalum, niobium resists corrosion and maintains good physical properties at high temperatures but offers other outstanding attributes.

Although frequently found in the same minerals as tantalum, niobium is more plentiful in nature. Over 50 million pounds of niobium products are produced each year. The largest market for niobium (85%) is in high-strength, low-alloy steel production where it brings high temperature strength and corrosion resistance to gas pipelines, automobile components and structural steel.

In den vergangenen Tagen habe ich mich - angeregt durch eine Leser-E-Mail - einmal etwas intensiver mit Mangan befasst und dabei einige wirklich interessante Erkenntnisse gewonnen, die ich Ihnen natürlich nicht vorenthalten möchte.

Gewaltiger Kurszuwachs!

In den letzten zwölf Monaten mussten Anleger bei vielen traditionellen Metallen die Erfahrung machen, dass die Bäume oder besser gesagt die Notierungen nicht in den Himmel wachsen. Ganz anders lief es hingegen bei Mangan: Auf Jahressicht verteuerte sich dieser hauptsächlich in der Stahl- und Eisenherstellung verwendete „Naturschatz“ um sage und schreibe gut 200 Prozent. Beliebt ist Mangan vor allem als preisgünstiger Nickelersatz zur Veredelung. Immerhin kostet eine Tonne trotz der „Rallye“ gegenwärtig nur rund 4.000 US-Dollar. Die robuste wirtschaftliche Konjunktur insbesondere in vielen (asiatischen) Schwellenländern dürfte bis auf weiteres für einen hohen Eisen- und Stahlbedarf und damit zugleich für eine ungebrochene Mangan-Nachfrage sorgen. Etwas differenzierter stellt sich die Angebots-Situation dar: Eigentlich ist das Metall auf unserem Planeten in rauen Mengen vorhanden. Nach Eisen ist Mangan nämlich das am zweithäufigsten vorkommende Schwermetall. Dessen ungeachtet gibt es kaum Unternehmen, die sich schwerpunktmäßig mit der Exploration und der Förderung beschäftigen. In den Zeiten niedriger Nickel-Notierungen bestand keine Veranlassung, den Mangan-Abbau zu forcieren. Und genau dies rächt sich heute. Kurzfristig werden sich die Kapazitäten auch nicht so ohne weiteres hochfahren lassen. Denn Minen haben bekanntlich eine Vorlaufzeit von einigen Jahren. Somit stehen die Chancen insgesamt nicht schlecht, dass Mangan seine Höchstkurse längst noch nicht gesehen hat.

Investieren ist schwierig!

Als Anleger können Sie von diesem Trend jedoch dummerweise nur eingeschränkt profitieren, weil sich die Investment-Möglichkeiten in einem überschaubaren Rahmen bewegen. Zertifikate gibt es keine und auch die Auswahl an entsprechenden Aktien ist vergleichsweise gering. Für durchaus viel versprechend erachte ich die Anteilscheine von Rocher Deboule Minerals. Von Mitte März bis Ende Juli dieses Jahres explodierte der Kurs förmlich von etwa 0,15 auf in der Spitze 0,76 Kanadischen Dollar. Spekulative Naturen können angesichts der jüngsten Korrekturen bei dem nur in Kanada und den USA gehandelten Papier einen Einstieg in Betracht ziehen.

Erfolgreiche Rohstoff-Trades wünscht

- Nikat'een Demands that Roche Deboule Minerals Corporation
- Cease Operations on Nikat'een Traditional Territory!

The House of Nikat'een is demanding that Rocher Deboule Minerals
Corporation cease all operations on Nikat'een Traditional Territory. We
also demand that operations outside our Territorial Boundaries that could
impact our House Territorial Rights require consultation with the House of
Nikat'een and that these operations also cease until we are consulted.
Through two meetings the House of Nikat'een has determined that
possibly two or three drilling holes are located on Nikat'een Traditional
Territory. We have also determined that all other drill locations may have
an adverse effect that could impact Nikat'een Traditional Rights and Title
to the land.
"RD Minerals in collaboration with the Province has knowingly violated
Nikat'een Traditional Rights and has acted in bad faith and demonstrates
that there really is no new relationship with the Province." Said Skid'm
def Hoya't.
The lack of cooperation and the intentional withholding of information
by RD Minerals is very concerning and should be especially concerning to
investors" continued Skid'm del Hoya't.
Skid'm del Hoya't continued "The original Geological Report dated
February 7, 2006 that included a site trip with President and CEO Larry
Wreaugh of RD Minerals made no mention of local First Nations let alone
involving the House of Nikat'een!! This concealment has to be brought to
the attention of investors that could possibly be duped out of millions of
dollars!"
"RD Minerals has clearly demonstrated that they are not the type of
company we want on our Traditional Territory! They were asked not to
proceed without our involvement but went ahead anyway!" continues Skid'm
del Hoya't.
RD Minerals in a summary released by Yvonne Christiansen of Cambria
Gordon stated that "Rocher Deboule has stated that they would abandon the
project entirety if threatened with litigation." We are not only
threatening, we intend to recover unpaid invoices and will also seek
compensation for damages already done to our territory including any
disruptions to game that we rely on to feed our families as well as other
such damage.

Just spoke with IR. Apparently this guy is very hard to deal with and has no basis for what he is saying. Relationships with the other native groups are all very good.

The drilling is complete and the holes are capped. Assays are being determined right now.

The company is preparing a legal response / press release but they belive these claims are absolutely baseless.

Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp.: Company Clarifies First Nation Relations

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Sep 17, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) --

Larry W. Reaugh, President and CEO of Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp. (NEX: RD.H)(PINK SHEETS: RDBHF) announced that the Company has requested a voluntary halt of the Company's stock to enable the Company to respond to an inaccurate and threatening news release issued by Skid'm def Hoya't (Wayne Campbell) spokesperson for Wilps Nikat'een demanding that the company cease operations on Nikat'een traditional territory.

The background to the demand is that the Company is carrying out a 6 hole drilling program on its Rocher Deboule Property in the New Hazelton area of British Columbia. The Company holds a Mines Act permit for this program which covers the requirements under the Mines Act and Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for mines in British Columbia.

The Company has engaged the services of Dr. Jon Belhumeur, Ph.D, a respected Indigenous People consultant to represent the Company to carry out consultation with the Gitxsan Houses whose traditional lands may be affected by the exploration. In this regard, Dr. Belhumeur initially met with the House of Nikat'een, then the House of Gwis Gyen and the House of Spookw. At one of the initial meetings, it requested and was provided, from the House of Gwis Gyen, a map of the Gitxsan traditional territory identifying the individual Houses with their boundaries and the migration corridors for wildlife in the area where drilling is being conducted, so discussions could begin with the affected Houses and any interference with the wildlife would be minimized by the Company's drillers. In addition, the Company is scheduled to conduct an archaeological study in conjunction with the House of Gwis Gyen and the company will be advancing funds to commence work.

Following the initial meetings, it was determined that the prospective drill holes would be located within the House of Gwis Gyen Territory. The company is working closely and in good faith with both the House of Gwis Gyen and the House of Spookw, whose traditional land borders those of Gwis Gyen and appreciates the cooperation and support received from them.

Skid'm def Hoya't (Wayne Campbell) in his news release mentions unpaid invoices to him by the Company. Although the Company has not entered into an agreement to engage the services of Skid'm def Hoya't (Wayne Campbell), when presented an invoice for consulting work performed, the Company honoured this invoice. When further invoices were submitted for unspecified work, Mr. Campbell was asked to provide details and was advised that upon providing satisfactory information such invoices would be paid. To date the Company has not heard back from Mr. Campbell regarding this request.

Additionally, Rocher Deboule will strive to continue to keep any First Nations including the House of Nika'teen, informed of any activities on their Traditional Territory.

Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp.-Diamond Drilling Update: Highland Boy Copper-Silver-Gold Bearing Quartz-Sulphide-Iron Oxide Fissure Vein Complex/New Director

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Sep 24, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) --

Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp. (NEX: RD.H)(PINK SHEETS: RDBHF) -

Management is pleased to announce the completion of a total of 3,629 feet (1,106.1 m) of diamond drilling from 6 drill holes on the Highland Boy quartz-sulphide-iron oxide vein complex located 2 km east of the past producing Rocher Deboule Cu-Ag-Au mineral occurrence (8 km south of Hazelton, BC). The drill core is presently being logged, split in half and subject to 61 element ICP geochemical analysis.

The Highland Boy Cu-Ag-Au mineral occurrence features two 090 to 120 trending and steeply north dipping quartz-sulphide-iron oxide fissure veins that outcrop in rugged mountain terrain at 5,800-6,500 ft (1,768-1,980 m) elevation. The southernmost vein zone is traced west along surface to the No. 4 Rocher Deboule Vein. The Highland Boy veins contain massive and banded chalcopyrite, coarsely crystalline magnetite and pyritohedral pyrite crystals 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter, in a gangue of quartz, calcite, dolomite, hornblende, tourmaline, actinolite, sericite, biotite and chlorite.

Additional prospecting in the vicinity of the 2 main veins led to the discovery of several parallel and perpendicular quartz-sulphide zones where a total of 15 rock chip samples were taken across widths of 0.1-2.0 meters from a 200 X 300 meter area located in the cliff area west of the drill site. In addition to prospecting, a 300 meter long 120 degree trending baseline was surveyed and a total of 2,000 meter line-grid total field magnetometer surveying was carried out along 030 degree tie-lines. A GEM GSM 19T magnetometer was used to take readings at 12.5 meter spacing. A total of 6 soil samples were taken along the west extension of the Highland Boy at 50 meter spacing.

The Highland Boy upper and lower veins were the focus of exploration work by Rocher Deboule Minerals in 2007, in order to determine the correlation between the 2,000-3,000 nT total field magnetic anomaly and nearby mineral trends on the Highland Boy upper vein. Results from rock chip sampling the Highland Boy upper vein indicate there is relatively low arsenic-antimony values with elevated values of Cu-Ag-Au-Fe. The iron notably occurs as magnetite, and the magnetometer geophysical survey performed clearly shows a direct correlation between the Highland Boy upper vein and a 2,000-3,000 nT increase in total field, especially at the west end of the upper and lower vein. The magnetite zone as indicated by the magnetic survey (and verified by Dighem airborne survey carried out by Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp, July 2007) correlates closely with Cu-Ag-Au bearing sulphide fissure vein mineralization of the Highland Boy upper vein.

The following table shows geochemical analysis of rock chip samples taken in 2004 by A. Kikauka, P.Geo.

Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp.: Drill Permits Applied for at Arizona Artillary Peak Manganese Project

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Sep 27, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) --

Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp. (NEX: RD.H)(PINK SHEETS: RDBHF) -

The Company is pleased to report that the application has been submitted to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Mohave County, Arizona for the permitting of 16 widely spaced diamond drill holes entailing approximately 4900 meters (16,000 feet) on their 100% owned Artillary Peak Manganese Project located 28 miles from Wikieup, Arizona.

The work will include geological mapping and baseline studies. The drill program was designed by N. Tribe & Associates Ltd., utilizing existing roads and workings, known showings of manganese and geology within the claim boundaries.

The Company estimates the drill program should commence by mid to late November.

At the present time, there are no exploration drill holes on the manganese beds on the Chapin West Showings. Surface sampling has established the presence of the manganese in economic grades and although Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp. has not generated the engineering parameters for mining this mineral deposit there is little doubt that the volume and grade will be of economic interest. The historical resource for the Artillery Mountain manganese deposits is estimated at 175,000,000 tonnes averaging 3.5 - 4% Mn as reported in Manganese Deposits of Western Arizona 1958 Information Circular #7843 by (L.L. Farmham and L.A. Stewart). Approximately half of the deposits are on the Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp. claims.

Where historical estimates are referred to, the Company has no classification of the resource or reserve, and the Company has not obtained enough of the original data and has not done the work necessary to verify the classification of a resource or reserve, the Company is not treating the estimates as a NI 43-101 defined resource or reserve verified by a Qualified Person, and the historical estimate should not be relied upon.

This news release has been reviewed by Richard Addison, P.Eng. a qualified person pursuant to National Instrument 43-101.

Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp.: Acquisition of Second Niobium Property

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Oct 02, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) --

Larry W. Reaugh, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp. (NEX: RD.H)(PINK SHEETS: RDBHF), is pleased to announce the acquisition of a 2,735 hectare (6,756 acre) niobium property located on the southern boundary of the companies old Brent claim group which contains a 119 Meter (390 feet) trench grading .19% N6205 up to 40 meters (131 feet) in width (see press release dated September 10, 2007).

The acquisition is the old Lonnie Carbonatite claims which increases the Company's property to 3,477 hectares (8,460 acres) and covers all known niobium mineralization in the area. Prior trenching in 1955 on the Lonnie claim by Kenco Exploration returned .21% N6205 with REE values over 500 meters (1640 feet), as reported by G.D. Belik, P.Geo in assessment report #26,854 dated May 13, 2002.

The acquisition (subject to regulatory approval) for a 100% interest in the Lonnie claims is $10,000 and 100,000 shares of Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp.

The Brent and the Lonnie niobium showings both contain significant niobium hosted in the carbonatite and are situated approximately four kilometers apart in a north east direction.

About Niobium:

The average price of niobium is currently $26.50 US/lb up from $8.75 US/lb at the beginning of the year.

Niobium, a soft shiny, white metal, is also known as columbium since it was originally discovered in a mineral named columbite. Like tantalum, niobium resists corrosion and maintains good physical properties at high temperatures but offers other outstanding attributes.

Although frequently found in the same minerals as tantalum, niobium is more plentiful in nature. Over 50 million pounds of niobium products are produced each year. The largest market for niobium (85%) is in high-strength, low-alloy steel production where it brings high temperature strength and corrosion resistance to gas pipelines, automobile components and structural steel.

Manganese Prices May Extend Record Gains as China Limits Output


By Yoshifumi Takemoto

Dec. 6 (Bloomberg) -- The price of manganese, used to strengthen steel, may extend record gains in 2008 as China curbs output, boosting costs for Japanese companies such as Nippon Steel Corp. and JFE Holdings Inc., executives said.

Japan's import price for so-called silico-manganese, the alloy used in steel-making, jumped 73 percent in November from a year earlier to 141,734 yen ($1,278) per ton, Japan's Ministry of Finance said Nov. 30.

``Steel materials such as manganese are in chronic short supply,'' said Atsushi Yamaguchi, an analyst at UBS AG in Tokyo, in a phone interview. Higher prices may have a ``negative impact'' on earnings if steelmakers fail to pass on costs.

Nippon Steel, Japan's largest producer, JFE Holdings, the second-biggest, and South Korea's Posco said higher raw material and shipping costs damped earnings in the most recent quarter.

China produces half the manganese alloy used globally for steel-making, partly from imported ore, according to Japan's Ferroalloy Association. Steelmakers in Japan depended on Chinese imports for 64 percent of the 340,607 tons of silico-manganese they used in the year ended March 31, 2007.

``Manganese alloy prices will very likely rise in 2008,'' said Yuichiro Sekine, an official in charge of procuring materials at Nippon Steel Trading Co., a unit of Nippon Steel.

Concern over electricity shortages and environmental pollution spurred the Chinese government to cut production of manganese alloy, said Yasushi Takagi, a director at Nippon Denko Co., a materials supplier to Nippon Steel, which imports all its silico-manganese from China.

Chinese Curbs

The Chinese government said in 2005 it planned to cut annual production capacity for ferroalloys including manganese by 23 percent to 17 million tons by 2010 from 22 million tons.

``There's no substitute for manganese, which is indispensable to add solidity and purity to steel,'' said Yasuhiko Tamakoshi, director of Chuo Denki Kogyo, a supplier of materials to Sumitomo Metal Industries Ltd. ``As the only possible replacement, nickel is always more expensive.'' Crude steel uses 8 to 10 kilograms of manganese per ton, he said.

``Manganese prices are fueled purely by a physical shortage, not speculative money, and they will probably extend gains next year,'' Tamakoshi said in a phone interview yesterday.

Japan's import price for ferro-manganese, another alloy used to strengthen steel, rose 46 percent to 141,792 yen per ton in the past year, Japan's finance ministry said.

``Panic buying by steelmakers has pushed up prices,'' said Hideo Uchiyama, a marketing official at JFE Holdings unit Mizushima Ferroalloy Co., in an interview.

Rocher Deboule drills six holes in Arizona

2008-01-04 07:16 ET - News Release

Mr. Larry Reaugh reports:

ROCHER DEBOULE MANGANESE EXPLORATION UPDATE AND YEARLY REVIEW

Larry W. Reaugh, President & CEO of Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp. (NEX:RD.H)(PINK SHEETS:RDBHF), is pleased to report the Company has completed 6 holes prior to the Christmas holidays on their Artillery Peak manganese property located in Mohave County, Arizona. The 6 holes were drilled along a north/south direction over a horizontal distance of 1600 meters (5,200 feet). All the holes encountered manganese mineralization varying from 7.6 meters (25 feet) to 40 meters (130 feet) in thickness at shallow depths.

The Company will be applying to drill an additional 9 holes early in January 2008, increasing the drill program to 25 holes from 16 holes. All of the core (HQ size) will be logged and stored at a secure location off site. Norm Tribe, P.Eng, has set up the protocol for handling, sawing and assaying the core. Currently two geologists are employed full-time along with Norm Tribe, P.Eng, on the exploration program. The first core is expected to be shipped for assay early next week.

REVIEW:

During 2007 Rocher Deboule has made significant progress on exploration and acquisitions. The acquisitions fit the company's business plan to become a supplier of raw material required in the steel manufacturing business.

December 21, 2007 - Application for Tier II Listing

The Company completed its NI 43-101 report by A.A. Burgoyne, P.Eng, on their IOCG target south of Hazelton, BC. The Company has also applied for a Tier II listing on the TSX Venture Exchange.

December 17, 2007 - Financing

The Company negotiated a brokered private placement (subject to a tier II listing) with Haywood Securities Inc. to raise $1,503,000.00 from a unit offering of 3,340,000 shares at $0.45 per share with a two year warrant exercisable at $0.90 per share.

December 5, 2007 - IOCG Target (8,050 hectares) 19,896 acres

Rocher Deboule announced results of their 6 hole helicopter supported diamond drill program on the Highland Boy high grade vein, (IOCG target) 2 holes extended the dip length of the vein to 105 and 130.8 meters where high grade intercepts ranged for .52 to 2.18 meters in width (see release dated December 5, 2007).

October 2 & September 10, 2007 - Niobium Acquisitions

Rocher Deboule acquired the Brent and Lonnie carbonatite claims 3,477 hectares (8,460 acres). The two showings defined by trenching (1970's) have a combined strike length of 620 meters (2,040 feet) with widths up to 40 meters grading .20% Niobium.

Niobium's primary use is in the low alloy steel production (85%) and currently trades at about $25.00 US/lb.

August 30, 2007 - Fluorite Acquisition (1,805 hectares)

The mineralized area extends over 12 kilometers in length and up to 4 kilometers in width. Mineralization consists of irregular lenses scattered along the contact between the limestone and argillite. The fluorite area contains a historical resource of 2.6 million tonnes grading 30% CaF2 (of which Rocher Deboule has optioned the northern section) as reported on page 291 of the 1986 Report on Canadian Mineral Deposits, Energy, Mines and Resources Canada. The main showing on the Tam deposit is reported to have indicted potential of more than 450,000 tonnes averaging 36.7% CaF2 as reported in Minefile No. 094M 005.

Where historical estimates are referred to, the Company has no classification of the resource or reserve, and the Company has not obtained enough of the original data and has not done the work necessary to verify the classification of a resource or reserve. The Company is not treating the estimates as a NI 43-101 defined resource or reserve verified by a qualified person, and the historical estimates should not be relied upon.

The following drill hole results on the Tam showing as reported in the 1972 publication of Geology, Exploration and Mining in British Columbia.

Significant drill holes assays from page 595 are:

Hole #1 0-89' 48% CaF2
90-153.6' 16% CaF2
Hole #4 10-50' 53% CaF2
50-87' 26% CaF2
Hole #6 6-76' 9% CaF2
Hole #9 0-110' 25% CaF2
110-147' 13% CaF2

ABOUT FLUORITE:

Fluorite is used as a flux in steel and aluminum processing. It is also used as a source of fluorine for hydrofluoric acid and fluorinated water. There is currently a shortage of fluorine for fluorinated water and the price of fluorine has moved up from $50.00 to $240.00 US/tonne.

August 29, 2007 - Aeromagnetic Survey

Fugro Airborne Surveys Corp. completes aeromagnetic survey over the total IOCG target mineral claims.

The magnetic high covers an area measuring approximately 7,000 x 6,000 meters in area with corresponding radiometrics of thorium, uranium and potassium. Results are being evaluated in preparation of a 2008 drill program.

July 17, 2007 - BC Manganese Properties

The Company acquired a 100% interest in three reported mineral properties in the Clinton (2) and the Alberni (1) mining districts. The properties host narrow high grade manganese occurrences assaying from 15.8 to 45.78% Mn (see press release dated July 17, 2007).

June 5, 2007 - Artillery Peak Manganese Property

The Company purchased a 100% interest (subject to a 2% NSR) in the Artillery Peak Manganese Properties located in the southeastern corner of Mohave County, Arizona, U.S.A., 30 miles due east of the Parker Dam on the Colorado River.

The Manganese Properties encompass 90 unpatented lode mining claims on which are located several deposits and stockpiles that were worked sporadically from 1928 to 1952.

Nine channel, muck and grab samples taken by Norm Tribe, P.Eng, averaged from 2.79 - 31.50% Mn (see NI 43-101 Report on the company's website).

The Manganese Properties contain several abandoned open pit mines, underground mine workings and stockpiles (See photos at www.rdminerals.ca) which produced manganese in the past for delivery to various steel mills and the U.S. government strategic materials stock piles.

The Company is currently diamond drilling to identify higher grade resources within their portion of the historically estimated 175,000,000 tons averaging 3.5 - 4% Mn (as reported on page 31 of the 1958 Information Circular #7843 titled Manganese Deposits of Western Arizona by L.L. Farmham and L.A. Stewart). The Information Circular describes the Artillery Peak area, measuring 8 miles by 3 miles as being generally recognized as containing one of the "largest resources of low grade manganese-bearing material in the United States".

Where historical estimates are referred to, the Company has no classification of the resource or reserve, and the Company has not obtained enough of the original data and has not done the work necessary to verify the classification of a resource or reserve, the Company is not treating the estimates as a NI 43-101 defined resource or reserve verified by a Qualified Person, and the historical estimate should not be relied upon.

ABOUT MANGANESE

Manganese is used in the production of iron and steel. As the demand for iron and steel rises, the demand for manganese rises proportionally. Worldwide production of manganese alloys reached 11.8 million tonnes in 2006 (up 14% from 2005) with China producing 42% or 4.9 million tonnes. China is currently looking at measures to control production by increasing export taxes by 20%. Manganese prices have increased from US $1,225 / tonne to US $3,300 / tonne since December 31, 2006.

2008-02-22 17:12 ET - News Release

Mr. Larry Reaugh reports:

ROCHER DEBOULE MINERALS CORP.: ARIZONA MANGANESE UPDATE AT ARTILLERY PEAK, AZ AND PERMIT APPLICATIONS FOR IOCG TARGET, BRITISH COLUMBIA

Larry W. Reaugh, President & CEO of Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE: RD)(PINK SHEETS: RDBHF) announces that the diamond drilling of 17 holes for a total footage of 9,930 feet has been completed on the Artillery Peak, AZ manganese prospect. Visual manganese intercepts occur in 12 of the 17 holes and range from 10 to 120 feet in thickness. The total footage of manganese intercepts submitted for assay is 814 feet. Assay results will be reported when received.

IOCG PROJECT (Hazleton, BC)

The Company has applied to the Ministry of Energy and Mines for permitting of 15 drill holes at 11 drill sites for a total of 3,100 meters.

A copy of the Application and all supporting documents filed with the Ministry of Energy and Mines has been given to Hereditary Chief Lorne Campbell and Wing-Chief and Spokesperson Rendell Campbell of the House of Gwis Gyen.

Last year, the House of Gwis Gyen provided Rocher Deboule a map of its traditional territory identifying the individual House boundaries and the migration corridors for wildlife in the area where drilling is being conducted.

This spring the Company is scheduled to continue the archaeological study with Golder & Associates, led by Amanda Marshall in conjunction with the House of Gwis Gyen.

The Company is working closely and in good faith with both the House of Gwis Gyen and the House of Spookw, whose traditional land borders that of Gwis Gyen and appreciates the cooperation and support received from them.

Additionally, Rocher Deboule will strive to continue to keep any Gixstan Houses including the House of Nika'teen informed, if we plan to do work on their respective Traditional territories. At this time, our work plan calls for work only on Gwis Gyen territory in 2008.

Chinas Rohstoffhunger: Nach Öl und Kupfer nun Milch und Getr…

...
Prognosen hinsichtlich Chinas zukünftigen „Rohstoffhungers“ sind mit vielen Schwierigkeiten behaftet. Die Nachfrage nach Rohöl dürfte zwar weiter steigen, allerdings werden sich mittelfristig Energiesparmaßnahmen bemerkbar machen. Legt man die Entwicklung anderer Länder, wie zum Beispiel Südkorea, Spanien und Japan zugrunde, so erhält man eine Vorstellung, wie sich Chinas Nachfrage nach Rohstoffen zukünftig entwickeln könnte.

Bei den heimisch verfügbaren Rohstoffen sollte sich in der mittleren Frist eine leichte Abschwächung des Wachstums bemerkbar machen. Das US Energieministerium schätzt, dass sich die Produktion von Kohle in China bis 2030 um jährlich 3% erhöhen wird. Beim Kohleverbrauch werden die durchschnittlichen jährlichen Zuwächse bis 2030 bei rund 3,5% liegen. Grund dafür ist der weiterhin steigende Energiebedarf und die Dominanz von Kohlekraftwerken bei der Stromerzeugung.

Bei Eisenerz, Kupfer und Mangan erwarten wir weiterhin robustes Wachstum der Nachfrage (durchschnittlich 10% p.a. bis 2020). Eine weitere Verknappung der Ressource Land, sowie steigender Wohlstand dürften zu weiteren Steigerungen bei den Importen von Agrarrohstoffen führen. Mit der historischen Entwicklung in Japan und Spanien als Grundlage für die Prognose der Nachfrage nach soft commodities schätzen wir, dass Chinas Importnachfrage nach Soja bis 2020 um durchschnittlich 4% pro Jahr steigen dürfte. Deutlich beeindruckender fällt die geschätzte Steigerung bei der Fleischnachfrage aus: hier wird bis 2020 ein Wachstum von bis zu 20% pro Jahr erwartet.

Strict Laws Threaten Manganese Industry

27 February 2008

South Africa's manganese industry could face closure if regulations governing workers' exposure to manganese dust particles were radically changed, a labour department inquiry heard today.

Brian Broekman, the executive director of Assmang, told a labour department inquiry - being held in Cato Ridge near Durban - that government needed to set exposure limits that were safe for workers but at the same time, kept the manganese industry operating.

The inquiry is investigating the alleged 40 cases of manganism that have resulted in workers breathing in fumes containing airborne manganese particles.

Manganism is acquired by overexposure to airborne manganese and is a disease that affects the sufferer's central nervous system, leaving them with symptoms very similar to Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis (MS).

Current legislation rules that workers should not be exposed to more than 5mg of manganese dust per cubic metre - a measurement which Broekman said his company had complied with.

"I would point out that our information is that we are well below five (milligrams) any way. It is a very vexing question as to what a new level should be.

"If 0.2 milligrams is where (the manganese) industry is to go, I would not be surprised if such a level would force industry to close."

Last year it emerged that the firm was warned in 1995 about the high levels of total dust at its Cato Ridge plant by an occupational hygienist from Occutech, Harold Gayze.

Gayze was contracted to assess risk at the firm every two years, as required by law, a job he did between 1995 and 2001.

He had recommended that the limit be brought down to 0.2mg per cubic metre, a benchmark used by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists.

He pointed out that South Africa possesses almost 80 percent of the world's known reserves of manganese. Most of the manganese processed at the Assmang plant is processed primarily for use in the iron and steel industry and 90 percent of its output is exported.

Broekman, who was being cross-examined at the inquiry by Richard Spoor, said he believed that government needed to set a new safety level in conjunction with the industry.

Spoor said: "So it's a trade off between workers health and safety and money?"

Spoor pointed out that the department of minerals and energy had set manganese exposure levels for miners at 1 milligram per cubic metre.

Rocher drills 21.34 m of 5.48% Mn at Artillery

2008-03-11 15:32 ET - News Release

Mr. Larry Reaugh reports:

ROCHER DEBOULE MINERALS CORP.: ARTILLERY PEAK RETURNS SIGNIFICANT MANGANESE OVER THICK INTERSECTIONS

Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:RD)(PINK SHEETS:RDBHF) reports that the Company has completed 17 HQ diamond drill holes for 9,930 feet (3.027 meters) on its Artillery Mountains Manganese property in Northwestern Arizona.

During the past year the market prices for manganese have more than tripled from US$0.68/pound since November, 2005, to US$2.00/pound currently (Ryans Notes).

Rocher has acquired, by staking, 180 lode claims for a total of 3,600 acres (1,457 Hectares). Manganese bearing sedimentary beds are known to exist over much of this area. Geological mapping by the USGS and the U.S. Bureau of Mines during the latter part of WWII and the early part of the cold war, when manganese was considered a strategic metal, has outlined numerous areas of interest. Rocher has staked most of these areas. The drilling just completed has tested two of these areas and has found Manganese in both.

Preliminary research of past metallurgical testing on this property, done in the postwar era, indicates that the manganese leaches readily in a vat leach process and as such a high quality electrolytic product can be produced. The resource is situated in shallow dipping sedimentary beds where the terrain would allow open-pit mining with a low stripping ratio. Low mining and processing cost is believed to be an attainable target. At this point in time the company is working on the premise that the rock with contained values of 1% manganese (20lb/ton) is of interest.

As such the following table of values lists the first set of assay results from mineralized sections intersected in the drilling with manganese values in excess of 1% Mn (20lb/ton). The project has drilled 17 holes in all and the table lists the results from the first six holes.

Rocher Deboule drills 27.44 m of 4.02% Mn at Artillery

2008-04-15 13:02 ET - News Release

Mr. Larry Reaugh reports:

ROCHER DEBOULE MINERALS CORP.: THE FIRST BATCH OF ASSAYS RETURN GOOD VALUES FROM THE DRILLING ON THE ARTILLERY MOUNTAINS MANGANESE DEPOSITS IN NORTH WESTERN ARIZONA, USA

Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE: RD)(PINK SHEETS: RDBHF) reports that the Company has completed 17 HQ diamond drill holes for 9,930 feet (3,027 meters) on its Artillery Mountains Manganese property in Northwestern Arizona.

During the past year the market prices for all the metals have increased dramatically. Manganese is no exception. The market price for manganese was US$4,150 per ton (Northern Miner) on March 25, 2008 an increase of 35.2% since the beginning of the year (Northern Miner), and more than trebled (from US$0.68/pound) in November 2005. At US$4,150 per ton for electrolytic manganese metal flake product, Manganese sells for US$2.08 per pound.

Rocher has acquired, by staking, 180 lode claims for a total of 3600 acres (1,457 Hectares). Manganese bearing sedimentary beds are known to exist over much of this area. Geological mapping by the USGS and the US Bureau of Mines during the latter part of WWII and the early part of the cold war, when manganese was considered a strategic metal, has outlined numerous areas of interest. Rocher has staked most of these areas. The drilling just completed has tested two of these areas and has found Manganese in both.

Preliminary research of past metallurgical testing on this property, done in that post war era, indicates that the manganese leaches readily in a vat leach process and as such a high quality electrolytic product can be produced. Rocher has just completed XRD analysis of the mineralization which indicates that the manganese is contained in an amorphous state called wad.

The resource is situated in shallow dipping sedimentary beds where the terrain would allow open pit mining with a low stripping ratio.

Significant strontium values have been encountered in the drilling. Strontium is currently trading at US $5,200/metric tonne ($2.36 US/lbs).

Recent assay results of the core and chip channel sampling of the MacGregor pit face are as follows: Assaying was conducted by ALS Chemex, Carson City, NV.

Nine samples were collected vertically from the pit face of the former MacGregor Mine at 50 meter intervals at 10 foot sampling intervals.

Pit face sampling in the MacGregor Open Pit Mine indicates a weighted average grade of 5.86% Mn. While the drilling 50 meters in back of the face indicates grades of 4.00% Mn. The difference is considered to be the result of enrichment by weathering through the removal of clay minerals by rain water washing in the face of the pit. The pit face has been exposed for more than 50 years.

Drilling in the northern part of the Love's Camp returned intersections in which the zone is generally narrower and of lower grade than expected. This indicates that the old Love's Camp workings are on the northern fringe of the Love Zone. This is supported by the results of Hole ADH#25 drilled 1.6 kilometers south and east of Love's camp, where good grades and good widths were encountered.

Mapping and sampling are continuing on the property and metallurgical testing will begin as soon as suitable testing facilities have been identified and metallurgical samples have been prepared.

About Manganese

Manganese is used in the production of iron and steel. As the demand for iron and steel rises the demand for manganese rises proportionally. Worldwide production of manganese alloys reached 11.8 million tonnes in 2006 (up 14% from 2005) with China producing 42% or 4.9 million tonnes. China is currently looking at measures to control production by increasing export taxes by 10%. Manganese prices have increased from US $1,225 per tonne to US $4,150 per tonne since December 31, 2006.

About Strontium

Strontium ("Sr") is a metal with an atomic weight of 87.62 and a melting point of 143 degreesF. Most of the strontium produced today is used in the manufacture of color television picture tubes, to refine zinc and is combined with iron to make magnets. Strontium is currently trading at US $2.36/lb (www.asianmetal.com).

Rocher Deboule to allow testwork on Artillery samples

2008-05-28 06:03 ET - News Release

Mr. Larry Reaugh reports:

BULK SAMPLES FROM ROCHER DEBOULE'S ARTILLERY PEAK MANGANESE PROPERTY TO BE TESTED AT MOUNTAIN STATES RESEARCH/DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE (VAIL, AZ)

Mr. Larry W. Reaugh, President & Chief Executive Officer of Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE: RD)(PINK SHEETS: RDBHF) ("Rocher" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the Company has accepted Mountain States Research/Development Institute's ("Mountain States") proposal to do test work on bulk samples from Artillery Peak.

Sampling under the supervision of Norm Tribe, P.Eng, is underway and work will start immediately when samples reach Mountain States. Artillery Peak is reported to contain the USA's largest low grade manganese resource (US Bureau of Mines Report). This critical work will focus on simple hydrometallurgical processes which have shown promise in earlier campaigns.

Mountain States is a successful commercial testing facility known throughout North America and globally for its work. The principal engineer is Dr. Roshan Bhappu who will work in association with Rocher's engineers. Rocher's management is confident the demand for manganese, which is a key ingredient in some steels, will continue to expand as the global thirst for steel continues. Currently manganese metal trades at $2.00/lb up considerably from $0.30/lb in 2003. The property was last in production in the 1950's when the price of manganese was $0.045/lb (Manganese Statistics/Us Geological Survey December 11, 2007).

Rocher completes Artillery Mountains resource estimate


Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp (C:RD)
Shares Issued 32,279,225

Tuesday June 24 2008 - News Release

Mr. Larry Reaugh reports:

ROCHER DEBOULE MINERALS CORP.: NI 43-101 COMPLETED AT THE ARTILLERY MOUNTAINS MANGANESE DEPOSITS IN NORTH WESTERN ARIZONA, USA

Rocher Deboule Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE: RD)(PINK SHEETS: RDBHF) ("Rocher" or the "Company") reports that the Company has completed 17 HQ diamond drill holes for 9,930 feet (3,027 meters) on its Artillery Mountains Manganese property in Northwestern Arizona.

During the past year the market prices for all the metals have increased dramatically. Manganese is no exception. The market price for manganese was US$4,150 per ton (Northern Miner) on March 25, 2008, an increase of 35.2% since the beginning of the year (Northern Miner), and more than tripled from US$0.68/pound in November 2005. Electrolytic manganese metal flake product now sells for US$2.25 per pound (see Ryan's Notes June 23, 2008).

Rocher has acquired, by staking, 247 lode claims for a total of 4,900 acres (1,983 Hectares). Manganese bearing sedimentary beds are known to exist over much of this area. Geological mapping by the USGS and the US Bureau of Mines during the latter part of WWII and the early part of the cold war, when manganese was considered a strategic metal, has outlined numerous areas of interest. Rocher has staked most of these areas. The drilling just completed has tested two of these areas and has found Manganese in both.

Preliminary research of past metallurgical testing on this property, done in that post war era, indicates that the manganese leaches readily in a vat leach process and as such a high quality electrolytic product can be produced. Rocher has just completed XRD analysis of the mineralization which indicates that the manganese is contained in an amorphous state called wad.

A NI 43-101 qualifying report has been completed and a resource calculation has provided the following results:



CATEGORY TONNAGE GRADE Mn TOTAL LBS



Indicated 9,272,442 3.79% 772,475,549

Inferred 2,553,000 3.82% 215,050,000



The following parameters were used to define the Indicated Resource:


A cut-off grade of 1% Mn was used equivalent to US$40.00 per tonne.
A current price of US$2.00 per pound manganese was used.
Blocks were plotted on section and projected half way to the next hole, up to a distance of 50 meters.
All intercepts were used as reported, no grades were cut.
Intersections were assayed at 10 foot intervals and some samples extended into the waste thus providing a measure of dilution. Internal dilution was included in the sample.
The specific gravity was measured for two samples and the resulting average of 2.00 tonnes per cubic meter was used.
Areas were calculated by computer generated measurements.
Assay intervals were consistent at 10 feet with no minimum applied.
The Indicated Resource calculated according to these parameters is 9,272,442 tonnes of 3.79% Mn, for a total Indicated Resource of 772,475,549 pounds of contained manganese.

The inferred estimate in the MacGregor Mine zone is based on the following parameters:


The area of the zone was measured within the limits indicated in the geological interpretation.
The area was calculated between the surface outcrop on the east and the claim boundary on the west. And between hole ADH#4 in the MacGregor Mine workings on the north and hole ADH#6 on the south, less the indicated resource already included.
The thickness was calculated by averaging all the intercepts within that zone.
Tonnages were calculated using 2.00 tonnes per cubic meter.

The inferred estimate in the Chapin Wash Zone is based on the following parameters:


The area of the zones was measured within the limits indicated in the geological interpretation.
The area was calculated between the surface outcrop in Chapin Wash and the West Splay of the Common Corner Fault.
The thickness was taken from the outcrop in the Chapin Wash.
Tonnages were calculated using 2.00 tonnes per cubic meter.
Grades used were taken from channel samples taken from the outcrop in the Chapin Wash.

Total Inferred Resource was estimated according to the above parameters at 2,553,000 tonnes of 3.82% Mn for a total of 215,050,000 pounds of contained manganese.

The Indicated Resource is situated in shallow dipping sedimentary beds where the terrain would allow open pit mining with a low stripping ratio.

Both the Indicated and Inferred Resource mineralization in the MacGregor Zone is open down dip to the west. The Inferred Resource in the Chapin Wash is open to the west on the Rocher Claims although it may be displaced by the Common Corner Fault West Splay.

A Phase II drilling program of fill-in rotary percussion drilling is currently being permitted.

Hole ADH#25 drilled 1.6 kilometers south of Love's mine, in the South Chapin Wash area, revealed a new hidden zone called the South Chapin Zone (no outcrop), where grades and widths are comparable to those in the MacGregor Open Pit and Priceless Open Pit deposits and other deposits in the area which were worked in earlier times.

The Indicated Resource in the South Chapin Zone is open in all directions.

A 100 meter square grid of rotary percussion drilling is planned to investigate this occurrence.

Mapping and sampling are continuing on the property.

Six metallurgical test samples totaling 1.5 tonnes of material have been collected. These samples were shipped to Tucson and testing is underway at the Mountain States R&D International Inc., Vail Metallurgical Test Laboratories, near Tucson, Az. The object of the testing is to test the economics of leaching and electroplating the manganese to produce a "flake", the premium product, for the domestic and foreign markets.

Negotiations for some of the adjacent patented claims have been finalized within the past few days and these acquisitions are expected to provide a significant increase to our resource over the next few months.

Drilling programs for these patented claims are in the planning stage.

The properties are located approximately 300 kilometres northwest of the Goldsource coal discovery (26 metres (86.3 feet) and 32.5 metres (106.6 feet)). The 30/14 property contains two coal intercepts 17 km apart, containing a 14-foot (4.27 metres) intercept in the north portion starting at 630 feet and a 30-foot (9.15 metres) intercept in the south portion starting at 720 feet. The coal outcrop property contains outcrop at Wapaneka Lake which were not considered economic but significant when considered along with the other coal outcrop and occurrence at depth, in that they may indicate the northern edge of a coal field lying to the south, southwest and west of Wapaneka Lake (contained in a Report dated January, 1961, titled "Silica Sand and Coal Occurrence's on Wapaneka Lake" by W.D. Pearson for the Department of Mineral Resource Mine Branch Geology Division for the Province of Saskatchewan).

Neither the rank nor the grade of the coal has been determined and the drill logs have not been obtained by the Company.

Note that the above information on historic work performed on the property was done prior to implementation of National Instrument 43-101; therefore, the results spoken of do not comply with modern reporting standards and should not be relied upon until such time as additional work is completed on the property, including preparation of a National Instrument 43-101 report.

The coal permits are underlain by sandstones and shales of the Cretaceous-aged Mannville group.

The Company has made 49 coal disposition applications entailing 37,632 hectares (92,951 acres) in the vicinity of the "30/14" and "coal outcrop" properties.

Cost of the acquisition includes the payment of $420,000 and the issuance of 2.5 million shares of the company on the following schedule:

* Pay the sum of $20,000 on the signing of the Letter of Intent;
* $150,000 and the issuance to the Vendor of one million common shares of the Company on TSX Venture Exchange approval of the agreement, which will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold period;
* $250,000 and the issuance to the Vendor of 1.5 million common shares of the Company six months after the date of TSX Venture Exchange approval of the agreement, which will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold period;
* The Vendors will retain a flat rate unit of production royalty (FRUP) equal to $3 per tonne of coal produced or sold from the property.

Hi Reiners,

Also positiv ist auf jeden Fall noch zu bemerken: die Basis Annahme der PEA Schätzung basierte auf 1.10$/Ib -momentaner Preis, Nordamerika(wobei mir nicht ganz klar ist, ob da die Einfuhrsteuern schon mit draufgerechnet sind) -irgendwie mag ich den roten Punkt :




Sollte der Preis bei, sagen wir mal vielleicht, 1.50/Ib liegen, dann dürfte die Wirtschaflichkeit IMO eigentlich, spätestens, ein Traum werden. Es gibt aber natürlich auch negative Punkte, wie das sie für dieses Jahr noch nicht durchfinanziert sein dürften. Die Vorstellung zu AMY.V müsste eigentlich in Kürze fertig sein &BM Antwort steht noch aus. Ansonsten werd´ ich den MOD mal noch fragen, ob er den Thread mal auf American Manganese anpassen kann.

"Observations from scoping study - junior_miner - Feb 17, 2010
Check the scoping study on their website. Plenty of good info.
Here's the operating cost composition, and what I think about it.

Mining 0.08 / lb Mn. Or $6.9 per tonne ore, or 1.97 per tonne moved with 2.5 strip ratio.
-> Mining costs seem reasonable to me. Similar size operation have comparable costs. Diesel price used was
.65 per liter.

Milling: Leaching $5.3/t. I can't say anything about this except it's based on third party (government organization) work. 29 cents per tonne is for electro plating (or $25 per tonne). They state usual electroplating energy usage is 5 kWh per pound of Mn. I didn't find direct quote in the internet, but from the cues I found it's probably true. (can anyone confirm?). The power rate used in the study was 6.2cents per kWh. Arizona rates for industrial users were 6.7cents in 2009. So AMY is assuming some discount because they would be big customer. In all, the biggest chunk of costs appears realistic. Good.

Support & G&A: 2 cents per pound seems low, but it depends what they calculate in there. Costs probably distributed to milling / mining expenses.

Shipping and sales
.10/lb seem reasonable. Freight portion wouldn't be that big since they are moving pure metal not concentrates.

I'm more comfortable than before. Company should start metallurgical work asap to prove their profitability to the public.

mit den momentan wieder bullisheren Aussichten beim Eisen, sollte es IMO wahrs. auch beim Mangan mittelfristig ganz günstig bestellt sein:

Manganese prices touch $3,000/t, highest since September 2008 -
Deco_pxx - Feb 30, 2010
www.stockhouse.com/Bullboards/MessageDetail.aspx?p=0&m=27880…

"London,29 January 2010 - Manganese prices edged higher in Europe this weekwith fewer units available from China, helping the market touch the$3,000 per tonne level for the first time in 16 months.

Spotmanganese was quoted at $2,900/3,000 on Friday, having risen some $200so far this year, and the highest since September 2008.

"We are hearing that levels of $3,000 - maybe higher - are being paid," a US-based trader said.

Priceshave now rallied 50 percent from the October 2008 17-month lows of$2,000 but remain some distance below the mid-2007 peaks around $5,500- this was the highest since the early 1990s.

The upturn wasmostly due to restricted supply, traders said, rather than anynoticeable increase in demand. Manganese-based alloys are used in steelmanufacturing - a sector that is patchy on a global basis.

"Chineseproducers are getting a higher price internally, and they are sellingdomestically," another trader said. "So that means there is lessshipped to Rotterdam. It is not possible to get anything below $2,900,really."

Also, the forthcoming Chinese New year holidays and thesubsequent halt in shipments means that there will be limited materialmoving from China for the next month.

China became the world´slargest producer of manganese last year, accounting for 2.4 milliontonnes of manganese content output in 2009, the latest US Geologicalsurvey (USGS) figures show. Australia and South Africa were the nextbiggest producers at 1.6 million tonnes and 1.3 million tonnesrespectively.

Chinese production bucked the trend last year,rising some 200,000 tonnes, whereas Western producers slashed outputheavily to cope with the collapse in steel demand caused by theeconomic downturn. World manganese production in 2009 fell 28 percentto 9.6 million tonnes from 13.3 million in 2008, the lowest since 2003. "

bei all den vielversprechenden Rahmendaten bleibt doch eine zentrale Frage: wie soll das weitere Vorgehen überhaupt finanziert werden?

- Stand 31.10.09 (letzter Q-Bericht verfügte AMY lediglich über $155.000 Cash, das working capital war sogar mit knapp $200.000 negativ

- Dazu kommen aus dem letzten PP rund $1,2 Mio

- Demgegenüber wurden allein die Kosten für die in 2010 geplante PFS mit $4,4 Mio angegeben/geschätzt.

- Hinzu kommen die Ausgaben für das angekündigte Bohrprogramm über rund 16.000 m

- Und natürlich noch die übrigen Ausgaben

Aus meiner Sicht muß AMY zunächst darlegen, wie sie ihre Vorhaben zu finanzieren gedenkt. Mit dem Erlös aus der kürzlich durchgeführten Kapitalerhöhung kommen sie jedenfalls nicht sehr weit. Für mich verbleibt immer ein schaler Beigeschmack, wenn Unternehmen hochtrabende Pläne verkünden, ohne über die dafür erforderlichen finanziellen Ressourcen zu verfügen. Insbesondere mißfällt mir, daß nur ein kleines PP angekündigt war, obwohl die erforderliche Größenordnung wenigstens ungefähr bekannt war/ist. Konkret: Warum wurden nicht Nägel mit Köpfen gemacht? Kein Interesse auf Investorenseite (ggf wieso nicht?)? Oder weclhe Gründe sollte es sonst geben?

[Popeye82]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 39.027.123 von MFC500 am 27.02.10 23:20:34

Das ist auf jeden Fall richtig, allein für dieses Jahr wird noch mehr Kapital benötigt als bisher eingesammelt.


Meine Vermutung ist, dass sie mit der sehr kleinen Plazierung erstmal nur die Bestätigungs/Erweiterungsbohrungen durchführen wollen(was wenn ich mich recht erinnere ja auch so verlautbart wurde), um dann zu versuchen die weiteren benötigten 3 -4Mio C$ auf einem möglichst höherem Niveau zu erlösen.

Obwohl ich das generell mit dem Beigeschmack verstehen kann, ist für mich nicht so ganz ersichtlich, wo &wie sie sich in Ihrer Aussendarstelliung so hochtrabend präsentieren?? An sich liesse sich mit Artillery Peak IMO wahrs. einen Haufen Geld machen &das noch mit einem ziemlich zügigen Pay Back, sowie von den Relationen einem vergleichsweise ziemlich niedrigem Kapitalaufwand. Und in solchen Fällen gehe ich i.d. Regel davon aus, dass bei solchen Unternehmen &Projekten, zumindest, ein überdurchschnittliches Interesse vorhandensein dürfte auch Kapital bereitzustellen(Privatanleger, wie Institutionelle).

Das ist würde ich sagen auch so ein bisschen eine generell unterschiedliche Betrachtungsweise bei uns beiden(worauf ich per BM eigentlich mal eingehen wollte ) -ich habe bisher einfach verstärkt die Erfahrung gemacht, dass Unternehmen mit "überdurchschnittlichen" Projekten &Finanzdaten Ihr Geld i.d. Regel auch eintreiben können werden -zumindest mit einer weitaus höheren Wahrscheinlichkeit. Das sie es auch schaffen kann im Vorneherein natürlich keiner garantieren. Da fährt man ohne Frage weitaus sicherer, das jeweils noch abzuwarten, da bedingen sich dann Chance/Risiko. Was aus meiner Sicht der Punkt ist -ein Vorkommen/Projekt etc. ist nicht "gut", WEIL sie das Geld bekommen, sondern genau andersherum -es ist es(unter gewissen wirtschaftlichen Annahmen) schon davor -&genau deswegen gibt es dann, wenn, das entsprechende Kapital.

Man, ich zumindest, kann natürlich auch nicht gänzlich ausschliessen, dass es irgendwelche, momentan nicht ersichtlichen, Punkte/Bedingungen gibt, die größere Investoren abschrecken. Zur letzten Frage wie gesagt, oben -ich würde auf das Platzierungsniveau tippen, was falsch sein kann. Wem das unter diesen Bedingungen zu heikel ist, der sollte, zumindest momentan, auf jeden Fall die Finger davon lassen(ich fange jetzt irgendwie immer öfter an von Unternehmen die mir gefallen, +wo man teilweise auch investiert ist, abzuraten (zumindest unter gewissen Umständen) -was mich aber überhaupt nicht mehr "juckt", da es eh´ nur einem selber gefallen muss).

Meine Vermutung ist,...

Vermuten kann man viel, es ist jedoch fraglich, wie zielführend das ist. Der Mensch neigt dazu, eher das zu vermuten, was ihm selbst am plausibelsten oder wahrscheinlichsten, um nicht zu sagen wünschenswertesten erscheint. Insofern halte ich mich bei finanziellen Aspekten ausschließlich an die Fakten.

...wo &wie sie sich in Ihrer Aussendarstelliung so hochtrabend präsentieren??

"Hochtrabend" ist im Kontext mit den leeren Kassen zu sehen. Natürlich sind die Päne als solche für einen Explorer nicht außergewöhnlich

ich habe bisher einfach verstärkt die Erfahrung gemacht, dass Unternehmen mit "überdurchschnittlichen" Projekten &Finanzdaten Ihr Geld i.d. Regel auch eintreiben können werden -zumindest mit einer weitaus höheren Wahrscheinlichkeit.

Meistens trifft das zu, wobei ich auch sehr gute Projekte kenne, die (bislang) nichts auf die Reihe bekommen (haben).

Umgekehrt muß man aber fragen, wenn das Projekt von AMY so gut ist, warum besorgt man sich dann nicht jetzt die notwendigen Mittel, um das Projekt wirklich voranzutreiben? Grundsätzlich müssten doch die Investoren Schlange stehen. 8-10 Mio, und man könnte "in Ruhe" arbeiten. So setzt man sich dem Risiko aus, daß bei einer - absehbaren - nächsten Finanzierungsrunde die Marktverhältnisse ggf wieder deutlich schlechter sind, und eine Kapitalaufnahme im Extremfall unmöglich oder nicht vollumfänglich zu realisieren wäre. Hier wird demnach entweder nicht strategisch gedacht oder das Interesse von Investorenseite ist nicht groß genug, um einen höheren Betrag zu platzieren. Die genauen Gründe lassen sich für Aussenstehende leider nicht beurteilen, un das Management trägt auch nicht zur Aufhellung der Situation bei. Das letzte Interview spart beispielsweise dieses essentielle Thema aus. Die ganze Unternehmenskommunikation ist diesbezüglich vollkommen unzulänglich und - jedenfalls für mich - wenig vertrauenerweckend.

Auch aus Aktionärssicht ist diese Vorgehensweise m.E. untauglich. Warum soll ich "heute" Aktien kaufen, wenn ich "morgen" mit der nächsten Kapitalerhöhung rechnen muß, die idR uner den aktuellen Kursen durchgeführt wird? Vom beträchtlichen Liquiditätsrisioko ganz zu Schweigen?

Nicht vergessen werden darf zudem, daß Mangan keinesfalls knapp ist, nur weil es keinen nordam. Produzenten gibt. Die Einschätzung als strategischen Rohstoff ist ebenfalls nicht neu, und die Amerikaner haben sich nach meiner Beobachtung bislang auch nicht als große strategische Investoren im Rohstoffbereich hervorgetan - ganz im Gegensatz zu den Chinesen.

Mein Fazit: interessantes Projekt, das man im Auge behalten sollte, aber zum momentanen Zeitpunkt ein vergleichsweise schlechtes Chancen-/Risiko-Verhältnis aufweist.

Das ist würde ich sagen auch so ein bisschen eine generell unterschiedliche Betrachtungsweise bei uns beiden

bin schon gespannt auf deine Ausführungen, da wir m.E. gar nicht so weit auseinanderliegen

[Popeye82]

also er sagt u.a.(Video), dass sie es, die Finanzierungen, auch ganz bewusst in Tranchen machen, um der Verwässerung entgegenzuwirken -ist halt trotzdem die Frage ausstehend, ob sie auch in der LAGE wären, es "einmal richtig"(abseits der Capex) zu machen, wäre aber genau das worauf ich getippt habe. In 2 -3 Wochen sollen die Bohrungen losgehen, Abbaugenehmigung noch nicht vorhanden:

American Manganese on Resource Intelligence TV - Mar 1, 2010
www.resourceintelligence.net/american-manganese-resource-int…

"With its recent name change from Roche Deboule Minerals, American Manganese Inc. now clearly states the business in which it expects to truly make its name. Manganese is another one of those metals that most people may have heard about but probably couldn’t distinguish from magnesium, much less care about what it’s used for. Without manganese, however, not much could be built or made in the modern world, and that’s the opportunity which makes American Manganese (AMY) such an interesting investment story. Sitting on over $10 billion lbs. worth of indicated and inferred manganese currently trading at $1.31/lb. in Arizona gives the company the largest known low grade deposit of manganese in the Unites States, according to the US Bureau of Mines, and the largest potential source of the metal outside of China. We spoke with Larry Reaugh, AMY’s president, to get the big picture on how his company could play a very important role in reestablishing domestic production of this key metal which the US now has to rely on foreign sources for its supply.

Resource Intelligence – Going from Roche Deboule to American Manganese is an interesting name transition, Larry. What’s the story behind that?

Larry Reaugh – Roche Deboule is the name of a rather well-known Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold (IOCG) property in B.C. which we still own. It was the core holding of AMY before we decided to make a strategic change in the direction of the company and pursue a commodity we thought would have a greater demand in the coming years.

RI – So how did you decide to get into the manganese business?

LR – In 2006-2007 I started looking around at the types of metals which appeared to be in short supply, at least here in North America, and realized that there was no domestic production of manganese anymore. You can’t make steel without it and it turns out that China controls over 97% of the world’s electrolytic manganese supply – and they are looking for more for themselves. Not a good situation for the US and other nations which need to rely on essentially one supplier.

RI – How did you manage to acquire all these key manganese properties and was there any or much competition to do so?

LR – Based on our research, in 2007 we determined that the Artillery Peak manganese properties in Mohave County, Arizona, which encompass historical open-pit and underground mines that produced manganese from 1928 to 1955, were available for acquisition. So we purchased 90 unpatented lode claims and also began assembling the patented claims in the area. Soon after that we started a 5000 meter diamond drilling program and continued to pick up more claims. By October 2008 we had completed the assembly of virtually all the manganese camp at Artillery Peak which now consists of 112 patented claims and 254 unpatented, covering 12 sq miles.

RI – So what work have you done there since you acquired the property?

LR – The drilling results on the small portion of the property we first tested showed significant manganese over thick intersections. Based on that drilling program we received our first 43-101 compliant estimate in June 2008 followed by a second 43-101 in April 2009. That one was based the 2007/8 drilling, as well as prior drilling and surface and underground sampling from reports in the extensive data base compiled in 1983 by Jim Lake of Hazen Research, who completed development work on the production of electrolytic manganese metal using sulfurous acid leaching. The second 43-101 indicates a manganese resource in excess of 100 million tonnes, with 1,068,307,976 lbs of indicated contained manganese and 9,661,091,721 lbs of inferred contained manganese.

RI – Based on that, where do you go from here?

LR – Obviously, the key to any successful mining operation is being able to produce metals at a profit over a long period of time. The key to being able to do it at Artillery Peak is a combination of a large resource which is mineable at a low cost as well as a method of recovering the metal at a low cost. The mining part will be a simple and low cost open pit operation followed by use of a hammer mill to break up the ore prior to vat leaching using sulfurous acid, which we would produce on site from sulfur. A metallurgical lab called Kemetco reports a proof of concept on the sulfurous acid method of extraction. The report proves a process based on the early work of the U.S. Bureau of Mines over several decades, and further development work by James L. Lake, Vice President of Hazen Research at the time, as well as Kemetco Labs‘. The process work has been successful in producing Electrolytic Manganese Metal from the samples of Artillery Peak.

RI – Can you explain the process a little more?

LR – Once the material has been reduced to minus 25mm, it is turned into a slurry in stirred tanks where it is leached when sulfur dioxide gas is injected through the pulp. That produces the sulfurous acid solution and in less that 30 hours, over 90% of the manganese breaks down physically and goes into solution. The leached pulp is then settled using flocculents and we end up with a pregnant solution containing manganese sulphate and dithionate. This is then evaporated to make crystals which are calcined at (250°C) to eliminate the dithionate and recycle the sulfur dioxide gas back to the leaching stage. The manganese sulphate is then purified to remove traces of any base metals, such as calcium, before being fed into the electrolysis stage. We can actually produce some of our own electrical power by using the intense heat which is produced when sulphur is burned to produce sulfur dioxide. The waste heat can also be used to speed up the crystallization and filtration of the leached pulp.

RI – So what are the economics of your proposed operation?

LR – In August 2009 we received a NI43-101Preliminary Economic Assessment of the viability of exploiting the reported Artillery Peak resource. The positive conclusion of the report is that we should be able to produce electrolytic manganese metal at a calculated cash production cost of 44 cents per lb. The mining and processing costs at 90% recovery and 2.5:1 stripping ratio should come in at $0.15 per pound and the costs of electrowinning are estimated at $0.29 per pound. The total “all in” cost is calculated at 63 cents per lb with a total capital expenditure calculated at $90,000,000. That would be for a 3500 tonne per day operation which would yield around 50,000 tonnes of electrolytic manganese per year. In the process we would be the lowest cost producer in the world.

RI – 3500 TPD doesn’t seem like that large an operation by most open pit standards these days.

LR – Bear in mind that the capital cost is only $90 million, and using a resource figure of only 21.24 million tonnes at 4.48% manganese, we have a mine life of 17 years. Using base case figures and a manganese price of US$1.10, we have a pay back period of only 1.73 years and an internal rate of return of 60%. Even if our operating costs were to be 20% higher than projected, the payback period would only go to 2.04 years and the IRR would still be 50%. If manganese sold 10% higher, under the base case cost scenario, payback would be in 1.45 years and the IRR would be 72%. So any way you look at it, at only 3500 TPD this should be a very profitable operation. Plus, we can always expand production if the demand is there.

RI – In summary, why should investors be considering American Manganese as an attractive investment at this time?

LR – We think that American Manganese presents a unique opportunity to participate in a company which could be the lowest cost producer of electrolytic manganese in the world and will be providing a valuable commodity to US markets which is not available domestically at this time. If we can produce 110,000,000 lbs of manganese per year and make just $0.47 per lb profit, we should have some very happy shareholders.


Milestones:

+ Begin drilling 191 reverse circulation drill holes totaling an estimated 15,885

+ meters starting the end of February.

+ Increase the existing NI-43-101 resource at Artillery Peak by 50% to 100%

+ from current levels and move current resources from indicated and inferred to

+ measured and indicated.

+ Raise additional capital as need to move on to a Feasibility Study.

+ Begin production in early to mid 2013

wäre aber genau das worauf ich getippt habe

jo, aber bedenke, daß ein Vorstand es der Finanzwelt wohl kaum verkünden würde, wenn er einen großen Betrag platziern wollte, aber nicht genügend Investoren/Kapital auftreiben könnte.

Ansonsten bleibe ich bei meiner Einschätzung: diese Mini-Kapitalerhöhung und damit verbunden das Wissen um die in naher Zukunft stattfindende nächste Kapitalmaßnahme, ist nicht der Stoff, der eine Aktie für Anleger attraktiv macht. Vom Risikio, daß der Kapitalmarkt wieder versiegt, nicht zu reden.

Sollte der Vorstand tatsächlich bewußt eine so geringe Kapitalerhöhung durchgeführt haben, darf man jedenfalls an seinen strategischen Fähigkeiten zweifeln. Wie dargelegt, allein die geplante PFS soll mit $4,4 Mio zu Buche schlagen. Wie soll man sich das vorstellen? Ein bißchen rumwursteln lassen, bis das Geld alle ist, dann immer so weiter, Häppchen für Häppchen? Für mich ist das Nonsens, gerade aus Aktionärssicht.

American Manganese Reports on Artillery Peak Manganese Plans and Lonnie/Virgil Explorations - Mar 09, 2010
www.marketwire.com/press-release/American-Manganese-Reports-…

"VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 9, 2010) - Larry W. Reaugh, President and Chief Executive Officer of American Manganese Inc., (TSX VENTURE:AMY)(PINK SHEETS:AMYZF) ("American Manganese" or the "Company") reports that Company's upcoming drill program on its Artillery Peaks Manganese Project, located south of Kingman Arizona is getting underway and aggressively plans to move the Project forward through the exploration/evaluation process to a successful production decision as follows:

1. Drill permits have been received from the Bureau of Land Management.

2. Drilling contract has been awarded to Brown Drilling of Kingman, Arizona. The first reverse circulation drill rig is scheduled to begin drilling within the week, and a second drill scheduled to arrive in 10 days thereafter.

3. Michael MacLeod, P.Eng has joined the Company as its Chief Operating Officer and will be responsible for guiding the project through the exploration, evaluation, development, and regulatory approvals processes. His duties include, but are not limited to:

+ Identifying and engaging engineering and other professional contractors for performing the engineering, socio-economic, and environmental work necessary to prepare preliminary and final economic feasibility studies, and satisfy the local, state and federal regulatory authorities;

+ Preparation of the Mining Plan to be filed with the State of Arizona;

+ Co-ordinate the metallurgical testing and process development studies from bench scale through pilot plant scale operations;

+ Identifying and hiring the personnel as required for advancing the project from the exploration stage through development and construction and into the subsequent operation stage.


The Artillery Peak manganese project has an established NI-43-101 resource as follows:

Tonnes %Mn Mn Pounds
Indicated 10,865,929 4.46 1,068,307,976
Inferred 96,933,724 4.52 9,661,091,721


A compliant NI-43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment, prepared in August 2009, indicated that a mine and facilities processing a nominal 3500 tonnes per day over its 17 year life could potentially generate attractive economic returns (on a pre-tax basis using a selling price of US$1.10/lb for electrolytic manganese), along with a low operating cost of US$0.44/lb and a fast payback of 1.73 years, at an estimated capital cost of US$90 million.

The objectives of the drilling program include adding new resources to the existing mineral inventory and to increase the quality and confidence of the mineralization and tonnage estimates so that the mineral resources can be up-graded from the Inferred category to the Indicated or Measured categories. This will enable the Company to evaluate the commercial potential of increasing the contemplated processing rate to 5,000, 10,000, or 15,000 tonnes per day.


Lonnie/Virgil Niobium, British Columbia Project

The Company drilled 5 holes at two locations on a previously untested carbonatite showing located approximately 1 kilometer north and west of the known Lonnie carbonatite (where previous exploration assayed 0.20% Nb2O5 over a strike length of 500 meters). No significant value in niobium or rare earths was obtained.

Die Einschätzung als strategischen Rohstoff ist ebenfalls nicht neu, und die Amerikaner haben sich nach meiner Beobachtung bislang auch nicht als große strategische Investoren im Rohstoffbereich hervorgetan - ganz im Gegensatz zu den Chinesen. ..."


Hallo MFC,

Dazu hätte ich nochmal eine Frage -inwiefern ist es "keineswegs knapp"? Das es sich um eine "Bulk-Ware" handelt ist mir bewusst(4tmeist geförderter Rohstoff der Welt, soweit ich das gelesen habe), aber es zählen ja (immer)die Relationen. Und da scheint mir das durchaus zutreffend(wenngleich m.E.n. zuletzt, seit vielleicht 1 -2Jahren, eine verstärkte Anzahl von Unternehmen sich in Sachen Exploration(zumindest als ein Teil) dahin orientiert hat, m.E.n. v.a. die Australier).

diese Serie von Websites gibt´s jetzt auch für Mangan -dazuzusagen ist, dass sie wohl u.a. gemeinsam mit AMY ins Leben gerufen worden ist(in Sachen Mangan könnte sich eventl. auch lohnen, mal ein Auge auf die anstehende DFS von Southern Hemisphere Mining(SH.V.)zu haben(gegen Q3 ´10 erwartet), hört sich IMO recht interessant an, scheinen einige Begleitumstände ziemlich gut "zusammenzupassen"):

U. S.' first electrolytic manganese operation due by 2013; American Manganese seeks to become sole U.S. supplier - Purchasing.com - Mar 22, 2010

- by Tom Stundza -
www.purchasing.com/article/453824-U_S_first_electrolytic_man…

"American Manganese plans to become the only producer of electrolytic manganese in the U.S. by early 2013, mining and processing the nonferrous metal atop Artillery Peak in Mohave County, Ariz. At present, the U.S. doesn't produce manganese, which is used in the smelting of steel, the production of dry cell batteries, and various construction, machinery and transportation end uses

Larry Reaugh, CEO of the White Rock, British Columbia-based company (formerly known as Rocher Deboule Minerals) says the mining/processing/smelting project will have a capital cost of about $90 million. In a statement, he says the U.S. operation could process as much as 3,500 metric tons of ore daily over 17 years at an operating cost of just 44¢/lb.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, manganese hasn't been produced domestically since 1970. That's why the U.S. is dependent on foreign supply from South Africa (34% of supply), Gabon (21%), China (10%) and Australia (7%) and such others as Brazil, Mexico, India and the Ukraine. "

Manganese Miners on the Move

Major manganese mining companies are on the offensive, securing new operations in an attempt to capitalize on growing demand for steel. Analysis from leading iron ore companies chart demand for steel growing, due largely to emerging economies, for at least a decade. Seizing the opportunity to cash in on rising demand for Manganese, OM Holdings and Jupiter Mines have made deals for manganese resources in South Africa. Also, American Manganese Inc. has started preliminary drilling on the first manganese mining operation in America since 1970.

Demand for steel will drive manganese markets because of its use in alloys in the prevention of oxidization. Mining giants Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton are hopeful for growth from Asia. “From 2008 levels, steel consumption in China is expected to double by 2020 due to continued urbanization in coastal provinces … This will be sustained as inland or rural areas also urbanize,” said Sam Walsh, head of Rio Tinto’s iron ore operations. China, the world’s leading steel producer, is also a major producer of manganese. However, Chinese manganese is of low quality, and changes by the Chinese government regarding environmental and safety concerns of domestic operations are driving China’s appetite for imported manganese. Imports of Ma in China rose by 27 per cent in 2009. A press release from China Armco & Metawise Ltd, the subsidiary of China Armco Metals Inc, says the company has purchased 749,000 metric tons of Brazilian manganese ore fines for delivery over the next 16 months.

Australian mining company OM holdings Limited [ASX OMH] is seeking to triple its manganese output by 2012. This increase in output will challenge the power of mining giants like BHP Billiton. “OM Holdings has also agreed to buy a 26 per cent stake in a South-African mining company (Ntsimbintle Mining) for about US$58.48 million … This means it will then produce 10 to 15 per cent of the world’s supply of manganese,” reported Georgina Joseph of Channel News Asia. Currently the company sells almost 100 per cent of its products in Asia, and will be keen on rising Chinese steel demand for the sale of their increased production. The operation is located in the Northern Cape region of South Africa. OM Holdings is also looking to get dual listing on the Hong Kong exchange later this year.

This South African region is also being coveted by Jupiter Mines [ASX:JMS]. The company has acquired 49.9 per cent of the Tshipi Kalahari Manganese Project with the help of major shareholder Pallinghurst Resources. The operation has considerably large amounts of high-quality manganese. “During 2008-09, Tshipi é Ntle completed a comprehensive drilling campaign as part of the project feasibility study. This generated a SAMREC-compliant resource of 163m tonnes grading 37.1% manganese and indicated the potential for additional resources beyond the currently defined levels,” noted a report by Small Cap News.

The two companies, Jupiter Mines and OM Holdings, have joint interest in the project. OM bought a 26 per cent stake in Ntsimbintle Mining, which owns 50.1 per cent stake of the Tshipi project being developed by Jupiter Mines.

American Manganese Inc. [TSX VENTURE:AMY ][PINK:AMYZF] has started preliminary drilling of the first manganese operation in the U.S. since 1970. The reverse circulation drill program is underway in Mohave County, Arizona. This development is huge for American steel manufacturers that have been at the mercy of foreign Ma producers. The tariffs placed on Ma have put U.S. steel producers at a competitive disadvantage. If the mine proves to be a success, domestic steel producers will have a secure source of cheap manganese. “The U.S. operation could process as much as 3,500 metric tons of ore daily over 17 years at an operating cost of just 44¢/lb.” said Larry Reaugh, CEO of American Manganese Inc.

hi popeye,

hab mal den thread ein wenig überflogen, auch die letze präsentation und so auf die schnelle möchte ich ein paar (kritische) gedanken mal kundtun. mal abgesehen von den positiven aspekten die ich durchaus auch sehe...

ich habe recht lange adanac und deren strategie beobachtet und mich immer ein wenig gewundert warum die weder partner noch finanzierung auf die reihe gebracht haben - selbst in den boom zeiten von moly und die rahmenbedingungen waren nicht die schlechtesten - auch mike hoy hat darüber von zeit zu zeit berichtet und sich gewundert warum niemand auf aua anspringt....... Larry Reaugh war während dieser zeit präsident und ceo für dieses unternehmen....
(aua kämpft aktuell ums überleben).

ein zweiter punkt den ich nicht zuordnen kann: warum wird in der präsentation darauf hingewiesen bzw. mir fehlt das verständnis für folgenden hinweis auf slide 17: "There is a 14% import duty on electrolytic manganese coming into the USA." warum das denn wenn das niemand in den usa produziert?

amy bezeichnet artillery als "low grade deposit" (siehe präsentation - slide 8 "The United States Bureau of Mines has described the Artillery Peak Manganese Resource as the largest low grade deposit in the south western United States" ) und hat trotzdem die weltweit niedrigsten produktionskosten?

ein nur 10% geringerer verkaufpreis als angenommen im base case der preliminary financial modeling würde den npv wesentlich stärker beeinflussen als 20% höhere operating costs oder eine um 25% höhere capex -also ziemlich "verkaufspreis-sensibel".


möglicherweise lösen sich diese kritischen anmerkungen in wohlgefallen auf wenn man sich intensiver mit amy und dem mangan markt und dessen aussichten beschäftigt. was Reaugh betrifft bleib ich aber vorsichtig.

amy ist ein interessantes unternehmen und gehört imo zumindest auf die watchlist

Hallo Saltamonte,

Gute Fragen erstmal.


Zu Adanac kann ich nicht wirklich etwas sagen, wenn die gegebenen Bedingungen &wirtschaftl. Aussichten zu diesem Zeitpunkt sehr gut aussahen(?), dann ist das nat. auf jeden Fall äusserst verwunderlich, bzw. dann auch die Frage, ob mann dadurch irgendwelcher Art spezielle Schlüsse auf die agierenden Personen ableiten kann/sollte. Solange ich da allerdings keinen konkreten Hintergrund sehe, werde ich das für mich, im negativen Sinne, nicht machen.


"ein zweiter punkt den ich nicht zuordnen kann: warum wird in der präsentation darauf hingewiesen bzw. mir fehlt das verständnis für folgenden hinweis auf slide 17: "There is a 14% import duty on electrolytic manganese coming into the USA." warum das denn wenn das niemand in den usa produziert?"

Ist richtig, das wurde irgendwo(Hintergrund/Gründe) erwähnt, werde ich nochmal nachschauen.


"amy bezeichnet artillery als "low grade deposit" (siehe präsentation - slide 8 "The United States Bureau of Mines has described the Artillery Peak Manganese Resource as the largest low grade deposit in the south western United States" ) und hat trotzdem die weltweit niedrigsten produktionskosten?"

Den Punkt habe ich in einer Vorstellung woanders schon etwas herausgearbeitet , versuche das aber noch etwas auszubauen("Subthema" unter "Wirtschaftlichkeit/PEA"):

"Warum so gute wirtschaftliche Parameter, trotz sehr niedrigen Gehalten??

Zum einen hat es natürlich damit zu tun, da es sich um "Electrolytic Manganese" handelt, was knapp 1/10 am gesamten Mangan Welthandel ausmachen dürfte, einige "günstigere" Eigenschaften aufweist &somit auch für einen deutlichen Erlösbonus zum normalen Mangan gut ist. Desweiteren lasse ich jetzt mal den FactSheet sprechen:

„The Artillery Peak Manganese mineralization is in the form of pyrolucite (Pu) Psilomelane (Ps) and Wad(W) which is amenable to sulphurous acid leaching at coarse partical sizes which return >90% recoveries in short leaching intervals. Mineralization is friable and soft. It is broken down by simple hammer milling with no need for multiple crushing and grinding stages. This simplicity is the key to reduced capital and operating expenses. The coarse (minus 25mm) material as a slurry in stirred tanks is leached when sulfur dioxide gas is sparged through the pulp. Physical breakdown and solubilization of manganese is rapid – less than 30 hours for more than 90% extraction. Leached pulp is settled using flocculents: the pregnant solution containing manganese sulphate and dithionate is evaporated to make crystals which are calcined at (250°C) to eliminate dithionate and recycle the So2 gas to the leaching stage. The manganese sulphate is then purified to remove traces of base metals, calcium etc prior to becoming feed to the electrolysis stage. Some production of electrical power comes from use of the intense heat produced when sulphur is burned to produce So2. Waste heat can be used to facilitate crystallization and filtration of the leached pulp. Costs of electrowinning are estimated at $0.29 per pound with low mining and processing costs of $0.15 per pound. The initial testing of Artillery Peak mineral was carried out by the US Bureau of Mines for many years in conjunction with its work on many other low grade manganese occurrences in the United States. Artillery Peak’s mineralization was found to be the most amenable to the sulphurus acid leaching process.“ "


Zudem kommt, wenn ich mich recht erinnere, auf einen Claim noch eine ziemlich hohe NSR(glaube 0.10$/Ib!), bei der ich momentan nicht genau weiss, ob der bei den Claims auf die sich die akt. Resource, resp. PEA bezieht, auch dabei ist. Wobei wenn die Frage ist, ob das in der PEA berücksichigt ist. Sollte der dazugehören, würde ich eher auf Nein tippen.


"ein nur 10% geringerer verkaufpreis als angenommen im base case der preliminary financial modeling würde den npv wesentlich stärker beeinflussen als 20% höhere operating costs oder eine um 25% höhere capex -also ziemlich "verkaufspreis-sensibel"."

Natürlich, das mag stimmen, wenngleich es auch dann noch gut aussieht. Die Frage ist was wahrs. ist -1.000%ige "Wetten" sind immer recht schwer "anzubieten"

Hier kommt m.A.n. v.a. ein äusserst interessanter Punkt ins Spiel(führe einfach mal den da angeführten Punkt auf): "China, +das ist für mich jetzt noch ein richtiges „Schmankerl“(m.A.n. eines der Besten), die für >97% des Weltangebots in diesem Markt verantwortlich sind(sie schreiben auch „annähernd nicht existent ausserhalb Chinas“), haben wohl durchschnittliche Cash Costs(!, inkl. 20% Exportsteuer), die sich auf 0.80 -1.00$/Ib belaufen –was IMO eigentlich eine ziemlich gute Absicherung nach unten beim betreffenden Commodity Preis darstellen dürfte(nicht sehr weit unter Deren Basis Annahme!!). ..."

Eine viel bessere Absicherung bezgl. des betr. Commmoditypreises dürfte sich IMO kaum finden lassen(lasse mich da gern durch Beispiele eines besseren überzeugen). Zudem, wenn man die "möglichen (Projekt)Optimtierungen" gegen die "Downside Risiken", "auf Ebene der Projektgegenenheiten, gegenüberstellt, dann überwiegt m.A.n. sehr klar das noch mögliche Optimierungspotenzial/daraus hergehende potenzielle Upside.


OK, dann tue sie auf die WL.

Habe mir nochmal das Interview angehört(#99), da wird es erwähnt(~7:20) -den Ausführungen zufolge bezieht es sich nur auf "Electrolytic Manganese" &er sagt noch irgendetwas anderes dazu, was ich aber nicht ganz verstehe(er geht auch nochmal auf die Gründe der geschätzten Förderkosten ein, ab etwa 4:30):
www.resourceintelligence.net/american-manganese-resource-int…

[Popeye82]

Wenn jemand eventl. nochmal eine konkrete Angabe zum Preisverhältnis "normales" vs. dem "Electrolytic" Mangan finden sollte, wäre mal nett. Habe da gerade noch eine Angabe gesehen, die so nicht hinkommen kann(gegen 1/10 rum). Bin gerade etwas confused. Wobei -umso signifikanter der Unterschied wäre, desto mehr dürfte es auch noch zusätzlich eine Erklärung für die verhältnismässig niedrigen Förderkosten sein(bei besagtem "Ceasars Report" sind sie davon ausgegangen, dass AMY, bei Projektrealisierung, wahrs. der einzige Neuproduzent in dem Bereich weltweit in den nächsten 5Jahren wäre, ziemlich sicher dann jedenfalls einer der äusserst wenigen).

American Manganese Reports on the First Five Drill Holes - Apr 14, 2010
www.americanmanganeseinc.com/american-manganese-reports-on-t…
www.americanmanganeseinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/News…

"Larry W. Reaugh, President and Chief Executive Officer of American Manganese Inc., (TSX.V: AMY; Pink Sheets: AMYZF) (“American Manganese” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the Company has received results from the first five (5) drill holes.

The mineralization at Artillery Peak Mohave County, Arizona takes the form of paleo-alluvial fans spreading out down slope from a number of source vents. The source vent and the down slope fan at the MacGregor Open Pit area is the first of several targets to be defined by the present drilling program. Early work in the 1940’s located most of these fans but little was done to define and measure this mineralization. The definition and evaluation of these various fans is the object of the present drilling program.

The company initiated a fill-in or definition drilling program on March 18, 2010. The drilling program will use reverse circulation drilling techniques as the mineralization is disseminated and uniform. The reverse circulation drilling is more economic than core drilling and will provide the information needed to evaluate the deposit. This drilling program is estimated to require 15,885 meters (52,000 ft) of drilling in 191 holes.

This increased hole pattern density will provide sufficient information to upgrade the status of the current resources from indicated and inferred to measured and indicated. Some increase in the size of the resource is expected as the fans are more fully defined.

To date 18 holes have been completed and results for the first five holes are shown in the following table. The drilling program was started near the southwestern end of the MacGregor fan and is moving toward the center. As a result the assays in this fringe area are slightly below the expected average for the deposit. See the drill plan map at www.americanmanganeseinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/News-Map-5.pdf

Manganese in New Battery Technology - MIN/PD - Apr 13, 2010

- By Michael Montgomery -
www.pinnacledigest.com/blog/edminnema/manganese-new-battery-…

"Manganese, most commonly used in steel alloys to prevent oxidization, may have a highly profitable new usage. Lithium-ion batteries, used in almost every hand held electronic device in the market today, are on the verge of a technological explosion.

Hitachi Ltd. announced a new lithium-ion battery that contains manganese, which has doubled the life of the batteries while increasing electrical output. This new battery may be pivotal in sustainable energy production, both wind and solar, as well as in the increasing hybrid and electric automobile market. “It is possible to realize a battery whose capacity decreases at half the rate and whose life is twice as long (more than 10 years) compared with the company’s existing battery cell,” reported Tsunenori Tomioka, of Tech On.

As Governments and large companies look to invest heavily in new renewable energy resources, new battery designs will be the most important cost saving step in the increasing profitability of the industry. Recently, the Obama Administration introduced $5 billion in funding for the development of a domestic battery industry with special focus on lithium-ion batteries. As the world commits to renewable energy, and the consumer electronics sector continues to grow, the use of manganese in these batteries may drive the manganese market for some time. ..."

eigentlich nichts dolle neues dabei, bis auf der Rückgang letztes Jahr im Markt &der Hinweis, dass sie hoffen mit dem aktuellen Bohrprogramm, neben dem höherstufen, die Resource auch nochmal um 50 -100% erhöhen zu können(in der Sache hätte ich deutlich weniger vermutet). Ansonsten bleiben die kritischen Punke nat. bestehen:

American Manganese Looks Well Positioned To Benefit From Increased Manganese Demand In The Years Ahead - MS - Apr 15, 2010

- By Sally White -
www.minesite.com/nc/minews/singlenews/article/american-manga…

"Just at the minute, the market is being a little slow in pricing any premium value into the shares of a North American manganese specialist American Manganese. But, says the company’s entrepreneurial president and chief executive Larry Reaugh, that will change. And, while investors may be slow on the uptake, American Manganese is certainly not sitting still. It’s sitting on the largest potential source of manganese outside of China, and Larry is doing everything in his power to bring it into production as soon as possible.

Amidst a flurry of publicity in the past weeks and months, and ahead of a likely fundraising, he has changed the company’s name to point up its product (it was Rocher Deboule Minerals), appointed Michael MacLeod, a highly experienced mining development manager, as chief operating office, made a small US$1.2 million private placing and hired a US investor relations consultant.

All this has helped to double the company’s share price to 40 US cents over the past few months, but that is still a long way from reflecting Larry Reaugh’s estimates on cash flow: “I can see 90 cents a share”, he said last week. But that is a little way ahead.

Still, looking out, it seems clear that the share price does need to motor for American Manganese to avoid being taken out by a manganese hungry-predator at too low a price. Manganese is becoming big money and Larry Reaugh has no doubt American Manganese could become a take-over candidate. Currently there is no manganese produced in the North America, despite its status as a strategic metal.

Up to now manganese production has largely been the exclusive preserve of the majors – Australia’s BHP, Brazil’s Vale, and South Africa’s Assmang. Demand last year fell off, in line with a heavy decline in demand for steel. Manganese and steel often run in parallel, as manganese is essential for steel alloying.

According to the 2009 sector report from Japanese-based steel experts the TEX report, production at the majors fell 34 per cent. BHP reported a 54 per cent fall in manganese revenues in second half of 2009. But steel demand is now rising again and with a manganese shortage forecast for this year, its profile - as well as its price - is likely to rise, too.

American Manganese plans to get production started by first-half 2013 “or maybe earlier”, according to Larry. The company’s Artillery Peak property in Arizona, which it bought three years ago, now consists of 112 patented and 254 unpatented lode mining claims over 7,900 acres. The resource stands at over 110 million tonnes, and includes indicated and inferred resources of 10 billion-plus pounds, all at a grade of 4.5% manganese. Electrolytic manganese currently trades at around US$1.33 per pound.

As far as processing goes, metallurgical lab Kemetco reported last year a proof of concept on the sulphurous acid method of extraction for Artillery Peak. So American Manganese estimates annual production at 110 million pounds of the metal, and puts costs of electrolytic manganese production at US 44 cents per pound, and break-even, including capital costs, at US 63 cents per pound. The total capital expenditure to build a potential 3,500 tonnes per day scaleable operation is put at US$90 million. That would make American Manganese the lowest cost producer in the world.

The latest drill programme at Artillery Peak has already started. The plan is to drill 191 reverse circulation holes, and gradually build up a picture of the resource base of the 95 per cent of the license that has yet to receive detailed attention. The company hopes to increase the existing NI-43-101 resource by 50 to 100 per cent, and to move the current resources from indicated and inferred up to measured and indicated.

American Manganese has had enough funds for all of that to go ahead. But for a feasibility study and to keep moving, it needs to raise capital or attract a major partner. Funding will be in tranches, benefitting hopefully from a rising share price.

The prospect certainly looks good. As Larry Reaugh points out, using a resource figure of only 21.24 million tonnes, which amounts to 20 per cent of the current resource, the mine life is 17 years. Using base case figures and a manganese price of US$1.10 the pay-back period on that US$90 million is only 1.73 years. The NPV, at an eight per cent discount, is US$355 million and the internal rate of return 60 per cent. Expect rapid progress as the Americans wake up to this valuable resource right on their doorstep. "

[MFC500]

All this has helped to double the company’s share price to 40 US cents over the past few months, but that is still a long way from reflecting Larry Reaugh’s estimates on cash flow: “I can see 90 cents a share”, he said last week. But that is a little way ahead.

Um ehrlich zu sein: wahrscheinlich ja.

Ich finde es inzwischen generell "ziemlich daneben", wenn dem Unternehmen nahestehende Kursziele, einen "fairen Wert", über eine Unterbewertung reden oder ähnliches zum Besten geben. Also da finde ich es OK einfach eine "Vergleichsgruppe" an Unternehmen in eine Presentation einzubauen(und der Leser soll/muss sich dann seinen Teil denken), aber über eine "Unterbewertung" o.ä. zu reden finde ich offen gesagt vollkommenen Quatsch -"das weiss man i.d.R. eh´ erst im Nachhinein" wirklich(mit meist irgendwann dann mal "dem EPS auf dem Tablett").

über eine Unterbewertung - ganz allgemein - kann ein Vorstand sich natürlich auslassen, z.B. gg anderen Unternehmen (wobei da auch oft Äpfel mit Birnen verglichen werden). Aber in diesem Stadium einen CF je Aktie zu benennen, halte ich schon für unseriös. Passt allerdings in mein Bild von ihm aus Adanac-Tagen.

Hallo MFC,

Eine Frage hätte ich dazu nochmal. Wie von Saltamonte schon angedeutet, schienen ja eigentlich, zu der Zeit damals, recht günstige Voraussetzungen für Adanac gegeben zu sein, trotzdem konnten sie nie eine Projektfinanzierung sichern -kannst Du vielleicht sagen, woran das nun eigentlich lag?? Gab es konkrete(offensichtlich) Gründe??

Ich habe mal angefangen ein bisschen in den Anfängen von Adanac zu lesen, scheint teilweise eine ziemlich "abenteuerliche" Geschichte gewesen zu sein. Bin mir noch nicht ganz sicher, ob ich mal versuche das richtig durchzugehen, bzw. ob sich das überhaupt lohnt.

Zu American Manganese/Larry Reaugh noch -ich bin mir über ein "Bild" von Ihm noch ziemlich im unklaren &mir scheint auch im Hintergrund irgendeine Art "(Marketing?)Netzwerk" zu laufen -mit wahrs. der "Reaugh Group Companies" als verbindenes Element(da scheinen mir die Hintergründe/Unvoreingenommmenheit einiger Artikel etc. nicht immer gänzlich klar/offensichtlich, zumindest sollte man da etwas aufpassen, bevor man etwas für "unabhängig" hält).

Gescheitert ist das Projekt v.a. infolge der Finanzkrise (wobei man natürlich nicht weiß, wie es andernfalls augegangen wäre). Ich habe dir "ein paar" Infos bzgl Adanac in die BM gelegt.

Vorwerfen muß man Reaugh insbesondere, daß er wirklich bis zuletzt alles rosarot dargestellt und den Superoptimisten herausgehängt hat. Das war unseriös und hat wahrscheinlich manchen Anleger in falscher Sicherheit gewiegt. Insofern mißfällt es mir eben, wenn er bzgl der finanziellen Vorgehensweise erneut so dilettantisch vorgeht, von der absurden Cashflow-"Berechnung" ganz zu schweigen. Offensichtlich hat er aus seinem Scheitern bei Adanac keine Lehren gezogen.

hi Popeye,

ich hab nur eine kleine subjektive indiziensammlung bezüglich Larry Reaugh aber keine harten fakten. ich hab zb. in erinnerung, dass er vor vielen jahren in vancouver als stock promoter gearbeitet hat und mal wegen insider trading verurteilt worden ist. als in den moly boom zeiten der moly sprott fonds aufgelegt wurde waren einige aussichtsreiche und weitentwickelte explorer dabei - adanac war aber so weit ich das verfolgt habe nie ein thema und jeder hat sich gefragt warum.
desweiteren kann ich mich dem kommentar von MFC500 nur anschliessen - ständig wurden bei aua die hoffnungen geschürt auf eine positive finanzierung - allein der kurs bröckelte im moly peer vergleich relativ stark ab..... bis dann ua. die meldung kam, dass eine nichtgeplante umfangreiche umweltverträglichkeitsprüfung notwendig sei und der immer wieder propagierte 18 monate vorsprung gegenüber der konkurrenz sich in luft auflöste.

ps: ende juni läuft wieder mal die "letzte" frist ab wie mit aua weitergeht. vielleicht findet sich ja doch noch irgendwer.

[Popeye82]

Danke erstmal für die Einschätzungen. Da heisst es also mindestens auf der Hut zu sein.

Heutige Meldung, aus operativer Sicht scheint es in Kürze in eine entscheidende Phase zu gehen -demnächst wird es u.a. zu Arbeiten/Tests im Labor übergehen, um den Prozessablauf &die geschätzten PEA Ergebnisse möglichst zu bestätigen &das soll dann die Basis für eine Testanlage innerhalb der nächsten 3Monate werden:


American Manganese Inc.: Artillery Peak Manganese Project Update - Apr 27, 2010
www.marketwire.com/press-release/American-Manganese-Inc-Arti…

"VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - April 27, 2010) - Larry W. Reaugh, President and Chief Executive Officer of American Manganese Inc., (TSX VENTURE:AMY)(PINK SHEETS:AMYZF) ("American Manganese" or the "Company") is pleased to report on the continuing progress of the project. Reverse circulation drilling is continuing and conceptual process development to define and confirm the procedures for production of high grade manganese metal, produced electrolytically, is nearing completion. This will lay the ground work for continuous bench scale testing followed by a pilot plant campaign which is scheduled to get underway within the next three months.


Project Development Concept

Mr. Reaugh states that: "The over arching principles guiding the project development concept include:

+ Minimize the total environmental footprint of the project;

+ Minimize water consumption by maximizing water reuse;

+ Promote energy efficiency and use of "Green Power" options;

+ Apply state of the art technologies".


As currently contemplated, the resource could be mined by open pit methods in a very safe and cost effective manner.

The hydrometallurgical process is based on extensive test work reported by the US Bureau of Mines ("U.S.B.M") over a period of almost forty years and supplemented by contract research and process development carried out at Hazen Research Inc. on behalf of James L. Lake (Metallurgist) and the Company's ongoing efforts at Kemetco Research laboratory in Richmond, BC.

As contemplated, a processing rate of 3,500 tonnes/day is expected to yield approximately 49,000 tonnes of metal per year based on mill feed containing 4.5% Mn and overall rate of recovery of 90%. The cash production costs are estimated to be approximately $0.44 US/lb manganese. The key to the low production costs is the overall simplicity of the process using sulphur dioxide and water to leach manganese from the resource without any need to roast or calcine mill feed beforehand.

Excess heat from production of So2 by burning sulphur is available for co-generation of electrical power (5 MWe), and residual low grade heat can be used within the process. The Company is also investigating onsite solar power generation options.

Conservation of water is mandatory in this arid region or Arizona. Accordingly, the process is designed to minimize use of water with vapor streams from evaporators collected, condensed and recycled. The Artillery Peak resource does not appear to be acid generating. The leached residues are high pressure filtered to produce "dry" tailings, in cake form that are suitable material for co-disposal into mined out areas of the open pit. This also facilitates progressive reclamation of the mine.


Drilling Progress

To date 2,297 meters (7,535 ft) of rotary drilling has been drilled in 31 holes. The initial drill hole locations were spotted on patented claims near the limits of the mineralized horizon for logistic reasons. Five (5) holes have been previously reported on April 19, 2010 and the balance of the results will be released as the outstanding assay results are released and compiled.

The drill is now being moved to the top of Manganese Mesa, where historical results indicate the mineralized zone could be thicker and higher grade.

"bei all den vielversprechenden Rahmendaten bleibt doch eine zentrale Frage: wie soll das weitere Vorgehen überhaupt finanziert werden?

- Stand 31.10.09 (letzter Q-Bericht verfügte AMY lediglich über $155.000 Cash, das working capital war sogar mit knapp $200.000 negativ

- Dazu kommen aus dem letzten PP rund $1,2 Mio

- Demgegenüber wurden allein die Kosten für die in 2010 geplante PFS mit $4,4 Mio angegeben/geschätzt.

- Hinzu kommen die Ausgaben für das angekündigte Bohrprogramm über rund 16.000 m

- Und natürlich noch die übrigen Ausgaben

Aus meiner Sicht muß AMY zunächst darlegen, wie sie ihre Vorhaben zu finanzieren gedenkt. Mit dem Erlös aus der kürzlich durchgeführten Kapitalerhöhung kommen sie jedenfalls nicht sehr weit.

American Manganese to File Patent Application for Proprietary Process to Produce Electrolytic Manganese Metal from its Artillery Peak Resources - May 20, 2010
www.marketwire.com/press-release/American-Manganese-File-Pat…

"VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 20, 2010) - Larry W. Reaugh, President and Chief Executive Officer of American Manganese Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AMY)(PINK SHEETS:AMYZF) ("American Manganese" or the "Company") is pleased to report Kemetco Research Inc. ("Kemetco") has completed its task to develop a conceptual process for extraction and recovery of high purity manganese metal from the Company's vast manganese resources at Artillery Peak, Mohave County, Arizona.

The overall process, based on a unique application of commercially available process equipment is deemed to be very robust, energy efficient, uses minimal water and in addition to production of electrolytic manganese metal will also produce a clean, saleable anhydrous sodium sulphate by-product. The energy to recover water and destroy dithionates is balanced with the energy produced by burning of sulphur to produce sulphur dioxide. High energy requirements for these applications were a major challenge facing prior art. Dithionate destruction yields sulphur dioxide which can be recycled to the leaching stage and use of water is minimized thru production of solid tailings which can be returned to worked out areas of the open pit.

The Company has agreed to Kemetco's recommendation to seek patent protection for this novel innovative proprietary technology which will enable the manganese resources at Artillery Peak to be processed at minimum cost: Kemetco will prepare and submit documents for patent application immediately.

Solid waste products are benign. Overall, the process is judged to be a significant development in hydrometallurgy for production of manganese metal from U.S. domestic resources.

Die Senkung des Bezugspreises kann angesichts der Kursentwicklung in Verbindung mit dem ohnehin geringen Investoreninteresse nicht verwundern.

Über mögliche Gründe zu spekulieren, halte ich nicht für zielführend. Das kann im Projekt ebenso wie im Management (wofür jedenfalls aus meiner Sicht sehr viel spräche; man denke nur an die unseriöse Berechnung eines QF/Aktie seitens Reaugh) begründet liegen. Ich verweise auf meine früheren Aussagen in #96 bzw #98. Fakt ist, daß AMY nicht annähernd die erforderlichen Mittel in die Hand bekommt, um das Projekt wie geplant voran zu bringen. Vom Warum kann sich ein Aktionär nichts kaufen. Wenn du ein Haus bauen willst und erhältst wider Erwarten nicht das erforderliche Darlehen deiner Bank, dann wirst, Ursachen hin oder her, im Ergebnis kein Haus bauen können.

Da ist meine Perspektive wieder etwas anders. Mich interessiert eher, ob konkrete Gründe vorliegen/erkennbar sind, warum Artillery Peak nicht umgesetzt werden könnte. Abseits des Bankkontos(das es ohne nichts wird, ist klar).

Weil wenn es das würde, könnte man, verschiedenste Parteien, damit wahrs. eine Menge Geld machen. Von daher interessiert mich vielmehr, ob es auf Projektebene "sauber" scheint. Wenn ja, dann dürfte das Geld eintreiben eigentlich eher kein Problem sein, danach scheint es aber aktuell nicht auszusehen. Wenn das Projekt, wirklich so, "gut" ist, dann wird es sich, höchstwahrscheinlich, durchsetzen -daher interessiert mich dieser Blickwinkel deutlich mehr.

About Manganese

China controls electrolytic manganese production (EMM) supplying and producing 97.44% of the world's needs (2.6 billion pounds per year).

There is no substitute for manganese in steel (total manganese market greater than 30 billion pounds per year, fourth largest traded metal).

Manganese is the most critical metal at risk to supply and restriction in the United States as there is no US production. EMM's greatest uses are the upgrading of specialty steel (47%), and the manufacture of aluminum alloys (32%) and electronics (14%).

China has a 20% export duty on EMM and the US has a 14% import duty; the current world price for Electrolytic Manganese Metal is about $1.43/lb. Manganese resources are declining in China.

The overall manganese market grew at 8% per year to 30 billion pounds up to 2008. EMM market grew at 26% per year from 2003 – 2008 to 2.6 billion pounds per year.

American Manganese Inc.: Artillery Peak Preliminary Feasibility Study Awarded to Wardrop - Jan 14, 2011
www.marketwire.com/press-release/American-Manganese-Inc-Arti…

"VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 14, 2011) - Mr. Larry Reaugh, President and Chief Executive Officer of American Manganese Inc. ("American Manganese" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:AMY)(PINK SHEETS:AMYZF), is pleased to announce that Wardrop, A Tetra Tech Company (Wardrop), has been commissioned to conduct a NI 43-101 compliant preliminary feasibility study for the Company's Artillery Peak Manganese Project located in Mojave County, Arizona.


The preliminary assessment announced on August 9, 2010 showed that the conceptual project should be economically robust and could potentially become the worlds lowest cost producer of electrolytic manganese metal. Since then the Company has completed additional drilling and revised its NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate so that the Artillery Peak Manganese deposit is now estimated to contain an indicated resource of about 92.8 million tonnes grading 3.27% Mn (6.7 billion lbs contain Mn), and an inferred resource of about 107.2 million tonnes grading 3.76% Mn (8.9 billion lbs contained Mn).

"The preliminary feasibility study represents a major milestone in the project development process for Artillery Peak," says Mr. Reaugh. He goes on to say, "Wardrop will be intimately involved in the execution of the previously announced hydro-metallurgical pilot plant program so that the study can be completed by the 4th quarter of 2011."

DESCRIPTION: American Manganese is currently contracting a PFS with Wardrop Engineering on its Artillery Peak Manganese project in Mohave County, Arizona. The project's NI 43-101 resource includes 6.7 Blb. (Indicated) and 8.9 Blb. (Inferred). There is no domestic supply in North America and because the element is necessary to produce steel, manganese is critical to the steel industry. A 43-101 PEA indicates that AMY could be the world's lowest-cost electrolytic manganese (EMM) producer at $0.44/lb.—half the price of that produced in China.

"The excitement for American Manganese is that it has one of the few North American projects with potential to supply the electrolytic manganese metal (EMM) needed by new and traditional end users. Based on the positive results of a preliminary economic assessment, the project could potentially become the world's lowest-cost producer of EMM."

The Gold Report Interview with Ken Reser (03/16/11)
Ken Reser: Well, the only company that has revealed a cash cost is American Manganese, and it's expecting an EMM cash cost of $0.44–$0.45/lb. In China, electrolytic manganese costs $1/lb. plus shipping costs, and then you have the 20% export tax and a 14% U.S. import tax.

TGR: Well, at a $1.65/lb. spot price, that would be a very generous margin for American Manganese.

KR: Yes, the company has a tremendous benefit there. According to the USGS, American Manganese's Arizona deposit at Artillery Peak is an oxide ore. It's a friable ore, which, in geological or mineralogical terms, means it's very soft and doesn't require multiple milling and grinding processes, roasting process or toxic chemicals. It also has a low water use with benign tailings. The key component to the low cost is a process perfected by Kemetco Research Inc., which is under patent application by American Manganese. The complete Kemetco Process can be viewed here. . .American Manganese has already identified approximately 15 billion pounds (Blb.) of EMM with a lot more drill work yet to be done. . .I've been consulting for American Manganese for some time now and I know what its project entails. It's much more advanced and it's open pit. The ore is amenable to sulfurous acid leaching and doesn't require the multiple grinding and crushing circuits, the roasting of ore or hazardous chemicals, therefore, it has benign tailings. So, you could say that it's a very environmentally friendly process. AMY's putting up a pilot mill this spring to bulk test the process. Also, it has a lot more drilling to do because it appears the company's 15 Blb. EMM resource can be greatly expanded. The company has recently contracted with Wardrop to complete an NI 43-101 prefeasibility study.

"Artillery Peak, covering 12 sq. miles in Mohave County, west-central Arizona, will produce electrolytic manganese metal (EMM)—enough, CEO Larry Reaugh believes, to threaten the Chinese stranglehold on this critical metal. How is EMM critical? Reaugh says, in the words of Brian Gilbertson, the ex-CEO of BHP and current CEO of Pallinghurst, 'If you don't have manganese, you can't make steel and if you can't make steel, the world stops.'"

The Gold Report Interview with Chen Lin (03/02/11)
Chen Lin: "It's a rare earth company—American Manganese. Manganese is a very important metal used to make steel and batteries and China controls about 97% of the electrolytic manganese metal (EMM) market. This could be the next rare earth trade. . .I think there's a lot of upside here."

TGR: If this stock doubles, it gets large enough for small-cap mutual funds to buy it.

CL: Exactly. That's the beauty of this stock. Right now, the mutual funds couldn't buy it. So, once it rises, mutual funds get in and push the stock to much higher levels. I got in at half of today's price. The company recently did a private placement, and I heard some funds were fighting to get in on that. Even though it's already doubled from our initial purchase price, those kinds of stocks may not initially have a lot of liquidity. Once they get to a $100 million market cap, the mutual funds get in and more investors realize that this could be the next Molycorp. Liquidity will increase, and you ride the liquidity and rising volume; the stock can go much higher from here.

Roger Wiegand, Trader Tracks (02/04/11)
"We like companies that have an edge in quality, markets, products and customer demands. We recommend few that are not gold and silver but this company has something most every nation must have for making steel—manganese. There is no substitute and world producer locations are cut and dried. China has 97.5% percent of supply. We clearly know what is happening with rare earth metals under its control. American Manganese's Artillery Peak properties in Arizona have a long history of performance and reserves. And it's getting a lot better. With new and proven reserves, we can envision this mine selling product all over the world. The price is right and the timing is right.

We recommend a buy and hold on the shares with no stops. For the foreseeable future, this is not for trading but for holding. Our technical recommendation on the shares would be CAD$0.73 to higher resistance, followed by CAD$.80 resistance. The share price on February 3, 2011, was CAD$0.43. It appears to us, on the fundamentals, technicals and forthcoming inflation, we see a double or better for AMY in 2011."

American Manganese Hopes To Be In Production From Artillery Peak By ´14, Providing The USA With A Local Source Of Manganese - MS - Jun 28, 2011

- By Sally White -
http://minesite.com/news/american-manganese-hopes-to-be-in-p…

"Drilling work at American Manganese’s Artillery Peak manganese property in Arizona is now beginning to gather real momentum. When the prize is manganese there is every reason to be picking up the pace, as American Manganese chairman Larry Reaugh can be found telling audiences all across the US these days. That’s because no US mines are currently producing this strategic metal, even though it is essential for making steel. It is just about all produced in China, although there is also some manganese in South Africa and Australia.


At the moment the resource at Artillery Peak stands at 92.8 million indicated tonnes grading 3.27% manganese for 6.7 billion pounds contained manganese, and 107.2 million inferred tonnes grading 3.76% manganese for 8.9 billion pounds contained manganese. That makes it by some way the largest manganese deposit in the southwest part of the US. Yet, with much of the property as yet unexplored and only a small part drilled so far the resource, he says “could easily be twice or double that.”

Cost of production is put at US$0.44 cash a pound using a process that American Manganese has developed with Kemetco, a Canadian research and development company specialising in extractive metallurgy and chemical processing. The low cost owes a lot, Larry explains, to the nature of the grind. “The mineral is so soft”, he says, “that we can actually break it down with a hammer mill, and the sulphurous acid leaching works on one-to two inch material. You don’t have to grind it down to a fine size, which means there is less capital outlay.” Given that the current North American price of electrolytic manganese stands at around US$1.87 a pound, there is clearly plenty of margin on offer.

Larry Reaugh plans production at Artillery Peak at between 100 million and 120 million pounds a year, output which will make a small, but useful contribution to world supplies. The latest figures put the size of the electrolytic manganese market globally at around 3.1 billion pounds a year. The attraction to the US of producing it locally is that there is currently a 20 per cent export tax on the declining Chinese supplies, and a US import duty of 14 per cent. But the long-term demand is not in doubt. Around 47 per cent of the electrolytic manganese produced goes to the upgrading of speciality steel, while 32 per cent goes into aluminium alloys and 14 per cent to electronics. The USA is still the world’s number one industrial nation, and still needs plenty of material.

Manganese prices have been pushed up by China’s demand for steel. As well as being the major producer, China is also the major consumer, and takes around 75 per cent of the electrolytic manganese produced.

So Larry Reaugh is anxious to get Artillery Peak into production, and with that end in mind American Manganese is on target to produce a preliminary engineering feasibility study by the end of this year. That would keep it on track to meet its target of starting production by 2014.

At the same time as it presses on with its drilling, American Manganese is working with a team from Kemetco to complete a pilot extraction plant. It is also in a hurry to prove the viability of its patent (pending) for a hydro-metallurgical process for treating low grade manganese resources.

The capital cost of getting the mine and plant up and running to produce around 50,000 tonnes of manganese metal a year is reckoned at about US$90 million, according to Larry Reaugh. That money, he adds, “could be paid back at a US$1.10 a pound in 1.7 years”.

With all that in mind, it’s hardly surprising that the company has had little trouble financing its exploration and development work so far. In May the company announced that it had closed a bought deal private placement for US$5.04 million. It currently has US$9 million in the bank, and the share price is currently trading around C$0.58 against the 12-month range of between C$0.17 and C$0.78.

Knowing more than most about manganese, Larry Reaugh is also buying more interest. The company has entered into an agreement to purchase a 100 per cent interest in the SoCal Manganese unpatented load mining claim in Imperial Country, California. Past production from this property in the period 1917-18 was 3,500 tons grading 42% manganese. A further 22,000 tons grading 43% manganese was extracted between 1952 and 1959. The area was also mined from 1941-44 but there is no record of production. Having said all that, though, Larry Reaugh emphaises that: “the company's focus remains on the Artillery Peak manganese project in Arizona”. It’ll be interesting to watch as development progresses. "

"Yes. You are correct. I've confirmed that the Artillery Peak Project does indeed reside in Congressman Trent Franks district. I just got off the phone with one of American Manganese's executives (James Marin) and he said that Congressman Franks is aware of our project and is very supportive - but we need to continually remind him that we need his support with the various government agencies (i.e. the Bureau of Land Management, etc) so that things can continue to proceed in an expedited way. (Apparently these congressmen tend to nod their head in support, but then forget about you the next day due to other legislative concerns. That is why it is important to send him one letter per week until you finally get a reply that is specific to American Manganese...not just some generic letter of acknowledgement.)


James Marin also said the people in Mojave County (which is Congressman Trent Franks district) are very supportive of our manganese project because they are looking forward to the hundreds of jobs it will create. It is important that when you write to Congressman Trent Franks about American Manganese's project, that you remind him of the hundreds of jobs that will be created once we get all of our permits approved. Make sure you always include the name, address and phone number to American Manganese's Corporate Headquarters in Canada so that he can contact them directly to offer his assistance if he so chooses.


Heck, if everyone just sends one letter per week, we should flood his office and get a response very quickly. Let's keep him focused on our project until we're done with the permitting process - which is what we're doing right now!!!

Cheers.

So, bin wieder mit dabei.

Jetzt heisst es (u.a.)für einen weiterhin hohen Manganpreis und dafür, dass sie sich mehr gen 500.000, den 50.000Tpy entscheiden, zu beten. Sowie das die restlichen 87% der nicht eingerechneten Resource, und die noch unexplorierten XX% Artillery Peaks(bin mir grad nicht ganz sicher wieviel das war, meine das war noch ganz anständig) vielleicht auch noch bissl was bringen.


Die Möglichkeiten für ein "ganz dickes Ding" sind IMO gegeben. Mal schauen. Wie auch immer, werde demnächst versuchen die Meldungen hier etwas "aufzuarbeiten".

American Manganese Inc.: Indicated Manganese Resource @Artillery Peak Grows by 123% - Sep 8, 2011
www.marketwire.com/press-release/american-manganese-inc-indi…

"VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 7, 2011) - Mr. Larry W. Reaugh, President and Chief Executive Officer of American Manganese Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AMY)(PINK SHEETS:AMYZF)(FRANKFURT:2AM) ("American Manganese" or the "Company"), is pleased to report that a new NI 43-101 compliant Resource Estimate, which incorporates the results of the 2011 drilling program, shows a substantial increase in the amount of manganese contained in the Artillery Peak Project. The 2011 drilling program included 84 reverse circulation drill holes totaling 10,607 meters (34,800 feet) on Manganese Mesa, Burro, and Shannon patented claims of the property. The 2011 drilling program can best be categorized as fill-in drilling with a limited amount of step-out drilling. This has resulted in an up-grading of a large proportion of the resource from Inferred to Indicated. The step out drilling has resulted in a 41% increase of the overall tonnage and a 19% increase in the contained pounds of Mn.


N. Tribe & Associates Ltd. prepared the up-to-date NI 43-101 compliant Resource Estimate and the results are summarized below:

0.90% Mn Cut-off Grade; INDICATED RESOURCE

ZONE - TONNES(t) - GRADE(% Mn) - Mn POUNDS IN BILLIONS

TOTAL 56,421,027 2.84 3.538


Samples were prepared by ALS Chemex in Sparks Nevada and the assaying was performed by ALS Chemex in North Vancouver, B.C.

The new NI 43-101 Resource Estimate will be filed with the regulators on SEDAR within 45 days of this news release.


The previous NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate at a 0.9% cut-off grade is summarized below:

ZONE - TONNES(t) - GRADE(% Mn) - Mn POUNDS IN BILLIONS

Indicated 92,823,925 3.27 6.686
Inferred 107,211,073 3.76 8.881


Mr. Reaugh states: "I am extremely pleased with the results. Not only has the amount of contained Mn metal increased by 19%, but also the amount of the metal resource in the Indicated category has increased by 123% from the previous estimate. These results support our belief in the character and quality of the Artillery Peak Deposit, and there is a lot more ground to explore to expand the resource further."

Mr. Reaugh also states that: "the Chinese Government has been cracking down on smuggling of EMM through Vietnam thereby creating shortages and price increases in the European market."


About Manganese

China controls electrolytic manganese production (EMM) supplying and producing 98.44% of the world's needs (3.0 billion pounds per year).

There is no substitute for manganese in steel (total manganese market greater than 31 billion pounds per year, fourth largest traded metal).

Manganese is the most critical metal at risk to supply and restriction in the United States as there is no US production. EMM's greatest uses are the upgrading of specialty steel (47%), and the manufacture of aluminum alloys (32%) and electronics (14%).

Electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD) for the battery industry is expected to be the fastest growing segment of the manganese market.

China has a 20% export duty on EMM and the US has a 14% import duty; (US Price $1.81/lb) the current world price for Electrolytic Manganese Metal is about $1.54/lb. Manganese resources are declining in China especially carbonate ores for production of EMM, forcing Chinese companies to seek production offshore.

China is currently shutting down production of EMM in several provinces for environmental reasons.

China production of EMM predicted to fall 500 – 700,000 T's out of 1.4 million T's in next 3 – 5 years.


About American Manganese Inc.:

American Manganese Inc. is a diversified specialty and critical metal Company focusing on potentially becoming the lowest cost producer of electrolytic manganese from its Arizona Manganese Project. The Company is well financed to execute its contemplated work programs.

American Manganese Inc. Reports Successful Pilot Plant Operation - Sep 27, 2011
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/American-Manganese-Inc-iw-3594…
www.americanmanganeseinc.com/investor-info/american-manganes…

"VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire -09/27/11)- Larry W. Reaugh, President and Chief Executive Officer of American Manganese Inc. (TSX-V: AMY.V - News)(PINK SHEETS: AMYZF)(Frankfurt: 2AM.F - News) ("American Manganese" or the "Company") is pleased to report successful operation of its pilot plant for the extraction and separation of manganese from its Artillery Peak resource situated at Mojave County, Arizona.


Operation of the pilot plant (see 360 degrees Rotoshoot at the following link: http://www.americanmanganeseinc.com/investor-info/american-m… commenced on August 18, 2011 under the direction of Dr. Gie Tan, Director of Hydrometallurgy at Kemetco Research Inc. Operational assistance of the solid/liquid separation section of the pilot plant was provided by Pocock Industrial Inc. (a specialist in solid/liquid separation).

The pilot plant was initially operated in semi-continuous mode to test several different operating conditions such as particle size in the leach stage, flocculent type and dose, and general operating conditions of the thickener and counter current decantation (CCD) circuit for solid/liquid separation. The pilot plant was then operated in continuous mode over 72 hours to test the performance of the leach and solid/liquid separation in steady state conditions.

Initial results of the leach and solid/liquid separation pilot tests are excellent; for instance rates of extraction of 92.7% manganese recovered was achieved from coarse feed material (minus 6.35 mm) in 2 hours. Previous work done by the US Bureau of Mines (USBM) on the same resource material from Artillery Peak, found this separation to be challenging because of the clay content (montmorillonite) and lack of polyelectrolyte flocculent. Initial expectation of the pilot plant was to process 3 to 5 kg of resource material per hour. In the continuous pilot plant run, the average processing rate was 20.8 kg per hour, which greatly exceeded expectation. Success of the pilot plant operation has removed a significant amount of technical risk for the flow sheet.

When operating in continuous mode with fine feed material, the pilot plant demonstrated that effective solid/liquid separation can be achieved with a conventional thickener and CCD circuit. A clear pregnant leach solution was recovered from the thickener with minimal use of flocculent. Underflow densities of 40 to 55% w/w solid tailings were achieved which was better than expected. Wash ratios of the tailings were observed to be 3.5:1 v/v per stage. While representative samples have been shipped out to external laboratories for confirmatory assessments, this wash ratio would indicate that washed tailings with minimal soluble loss can be achieved with a reasonable number of CCD stages.

The pilot plant has generated reliable data for assessment by Wardrop Engineering Inc. in a NI 43-101 Preliminary Feasibility Study scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2011.

This successful confirmation of leaching and solid/liquid separation is key to development of the entire process. Purification of the pregnant leach solution, production of manganese carbonate and conversion to sulphate for the final electrolyte production of manganese metal are known processes. These stages of testing are being completed in on-going work expected to be completed within the next 6 weeks.
